Rapid review on healthy ageing interventions that incorporate action on climate change and sustainability in cities and communities
Climate change justice and resilience should be incorporated explicitly into the AFCC framework. Greater information exchange between Global North and Global South and inclusion of diverse perspectives (i.e., Indigenous knowledge, people with disabilities and/or experiencing homelessness) will enhance policy efforts. Similarly, recognition of the broader impacts of climate change on the fundamental pre-requisites for health across the lifespan such as food, water and energy security are required. Older adults should be seen as a valuable resource integral to the design and implementation of innovative interventions with climate resilience, healthy ageing focus.
