Interdisciplinary Network on Rural Population Health and Aging (INRPHA)
with the Center for Aging, Climate, and Health (CACHE)
Wednesday, April 9th, Washington, DC
Climate change is influencing human health and is particularly challenging for older adults. In terms of these climate-health connections, rural America is characterized by distinct vulnerabilities, including a relatively older population and far more challenging access to health care and other necessary services. At the same time, extreme environmental events – hurricanes, floods, tornadoes – are rapidly increasing in frequency and severity with projections of further intensification. Amid climate-related health impacts, many rural communities continue to age.
Importantly, there are few scholars already investigating this three-way intersection – we seek participation from aging, health, and/or rural researchers with interest in expanding their portfolio to climate-related questions.
Some funding is competitively available to support an additional night of lodging prior to the PAA meeting.
