Climate Change, Aging, and Health Across the Life Course ~ 2024 Workshop

This multi-day workshop from May 13th-15th, 2024, aimed to advance inquiry in climate change and health across the lifecourse. The workshop had four aims: (1) to share cutting-edge research on the effects of climate conditions on physical, mental, and cognitive health among older adults in the U.S. and Mexico—two linked, aging populations; (2) to identify the data and study design features needed to advance rigorous research on climate and aging; (3) to identify major gaps in research in climate and aging—including behavioral mechanisms of adaptation to climate change —and develop cross-Center, cross-institutional collaborations to begin addressing these gaps; and (4) to support the scholarship of early-stage investigators advancing NIA research on the effects of climate change on older adults.
