Introduction Climate change is shaping adolescent and young people’s (AYP) transitions to adulthood with significant often compounding effects on their physical mental health. The climate crisis an intergenerational inequity, the current generation of people exposed more events over lifetime than any previous one. Despite this injustice, research policy date lacks AYP’s perspectives active engagement. Methods Participatory, youth co-led qualitative focus group discussions were held in Bangladesh, Guatemala Nigeria mid-2023. A total 196 AYP ages 12–25 years participated. Open-ended questions elicited responses regarding knowledge, experiences perceptions change. Using NVivo software, translated transcripts coded explore synthesise key thematic areas. Results Respondents discussed varied exposures associated health risks, for example, how flooding impeding access sexual reproductive commodities.

In Nigeria, respondents extreme heat, droughts shifting women into traditionally male roles agriculture income-generating activities, increasing household tensions violence.

Challenges faced by many countries are energy insecurity, climate change, and the health long-term care of growing numbers older people. These challenges increasingly intersecting with rising prices, aging populations, an increased frequency intensity extreme events. This paper gives a deeper understanding current predicted interconnections among these through narrative-driven content thematic analysis from workshops diverse group international stakeholders Global North South. Narratives emerged highlighting complex nexus presenting critical action areas. Targeted local global policies interventions needed to alleviate stress on systems, encourage integrated uptake clean sources, uphold social justice across all economies. Professionals can use this work inform design implementation effective increase resilience adults better preparing for systemic risks.

Population ageing is expected to lead significant rises in climate risks because vulnerability sharply throughout people's later years. When assessing the of older people, however, what's important isn't number years someone has lived (i.e. "chronological age") but rather their functional abilities and characteristics; latter better captured by remaining life expectancy or "prospective age". Here, we show that growth size populations using a prospective than chronological age perspective can help avoid overestimates future change. Compared an analysis based on age, projected increase vulnerable population share seen considerably lower. The differences between two perspectives with decrease country income level, are larger futures give priority sustainable development. Thus, while certainly poses major challenges societies facing change, these may be smaller thought. Prospective offers relatively easily implemented alternative for projecting accounts rising longevity.

In the wake of escalating climate challenges, role diverse specific groups in action has gained unprecedented attention. Among these groups, older adults, often overlooked, present a unique potential realm action. The concept gerontology, first introduced by Haq and Gutman 2014, encapsulates this intersection gerontology change. However, despite its initial proposal, field not fully developed potential. This article aims to revisit expand arguing for more active recognized contribution people climate-change initiatives.

Abstract Climate change, especially through heatwaves, significantly affects human health and is a growing global concern. Concurrently, population aging occurring worldwide, with many countries experiencing an increase in their elderly populations. As the are particularly susceptible to extreme temperatures unevenly distributed due internal migration of younger populations, spatio-temporal analysis integrating temperature changes demographic data essential. This study focuses on Japan, super-aged society where over 25% total 65 years or older. We examined effects climate proportion heatstroke deaths within Bayesian framework. estimated annual relative risk heatstroke-related at prefecture level from 2008 2019. The results indicate strong spatial autocorrelation across Japan. interaction model was best-performing, showing that regional temporal variations impact mortality. In this model, one-degree anomaly linked 0.35 (95% CI 0.25 0.46) times higher odds deaths, while 1% aged older associated 4.85 0.92 8.65) odds. found not only metropolitan areas but also rural areas, such as Tohoku Shikoku regions, face high heatstroke, emphasizing need address challenges communities. Our highlights necessity context for assessment. It demonstrates profound anomalies research framework could be applicable other heatwave issues, aiding development targeted public interventions.

The aim of this study is to synthesise the scientific evidence on implications urban and rural environments older adults’ adaptation strategies heatwaves. Methods: methodology follows PRISMA guidelines, which involves a systematic search literature in selected electronic databases, including Web Science Scopus, assist selection, identification retention studies. Results: identified 4991 potentially eligible articles, 17 met criteria, mainly from developed countries, emphasising multidisciplinary approach moderate low quality. Urban influence heatwaves through adequacy physical environment dwelling (design, materials, equipment) neighbourhood (green spaces, residential density, land use), social (support network type assistance) risk management (protective measures heat warning systems). At individual level, determined by age, gender, health status, socio-economic status isolation. Discussion conclusions: Differences perceptions were found according location, typology environmental characteristics, especially developing countries. findings contribute promoting adoption protective measures, design systems, planning friendly resilient cities communities support an ageing society climate warming.

Temperature-related mortality mostly affects older people and is attributable to a combination of factors. We focussed on key non-temperature factor - rising longevity aimed quantify its reciprocal relation with temperature-related risk in Spain over 1980-2018. obtained average annual temperature-attributable deaths among aged 65y+, by sex age group, for different temperature ranges (extreme cold, moderate heat, extreme heat), from previous study. Combining this population data as well life table information, we used: (i) counterfactual approach assess the contribution changes absolute mortality, (ii) decomposition variation (lifespan inequality). Rising led considerable declines females males across entire range. For it accounted about 30% decrease (half total study period). 20% fall (a quarter fall). In opposite direction, changing patterns contributed higher expectancy (accounting > rise both males) but also lifespan inequality amongst people. Most influence (about 80%) was via at heat small rises expectancy. Our points benefits adopting risk-reduction strategies that aim, not only modifying hazards reducing exposure, address socially-generated vulnerability This includes ensuring lifespans lengthen primarily through increases years lived good health.
