A study released on June 15 called for focus on Climate Resilient Ageing, highlighting that older adults face increased health risks from climate-related hazards. According to Times of India, 78% of older persons experienced at least one climate-related hazard in the past three years, with 74% reporting illness and 44% reporting worsening of existing conditions due to these events. Thirty-three percent reported difficulty accessing healthcare because of such hazards. Times of India also reported that 90% of those most affected by heatwaves stay indoors, and 81% increase water intake. Climate change affects health and longevity in older adults, according to jogh.org, and people over 60 are particularly susceptible to health impacts, as noted by climateaging.bctr.cornell.edu. Older people are more likely to depend on caregivers and medical systems that can collapse during natural disasters, and it is difficult to transport medicines and medical equipment required by some older adults during evacuations, according to climateaging.bctr.cornell.edu. The Hindu reported that climate change poses growing risks to elderly populations. The Conversation reported that by 2030, one in six people worldwide will be 60 or older, and by 2050, the global population aged 60 or older is expected to reach 2.1 billion.
