This Article Collection will strive to highlight the importance of climate change for older people and examine the issue from an intergenerational angle. Society is witnessing the impact of climate change in the form of rising sea levels, droughts, adverse weather, and other disasters. However, public policies are lacking in their response to protect older people in climate change events; they often fail to promote the voice of older people or offer opportunities to participate in moderating the impact of climate change.
