Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation by Danielle Arigoni | an Island Press book

Author's Forum: Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation

Thursday, August 8, 2024 - 5:30pm PDT

By 2034, the US will have more people over 65 than under 18. In Santa Clara County we're expected to reach that milestone even sooner, by 2030. Yet, the country and locally we are not adequately prepared to address the needs of older adults as the frequency and severity of climate-fueled disasters increase.
