About this Event
In honor of Earth Day on April 22, 2025, the USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health, in cooperation with HelpAge USA and HelpAge International, will highlight how local, national, and global actors are responding to the unequal impacts of climate change on the health of older adults. Climate change disproportionately impacts and exacerbates existing vulnerabilities of aging populations. The resulting displacement, limited access to health services, and social isolation due to extreme weather events is of utmost importance to the health and rights of older people. This virtual panel will address how social and economic inequalities among older adults affect their opportunities for healthy longevity in a climate-changing world, and showcase how older activists for climate justice are acting to advance health and equality. This virtual event, “Hazardous Inequalities: Older Adults Responding to the Unequal Health Effects of Climate Change,” will take place on Tuesday, April 22, at 9:00 am PDT/12:00 pm EDT/6:00 pm CEST. https://events.humanitix.com/hazardous-inequalities-older-adults-responding-to-the-unequal-health-effects-of-climate-change
