Event

Long-term care and climate change Preparing to respond to climate change, building on lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic

Stefi  Barna

Older adults and individuals with chronic illnesses or disabilities, as well as caregivers, often face increased exposure to climate-related hazards such as extreme heat, natural disasters, and displacement. It is essential to ensure that Long-Term Care systems are prepared to respond to climate-related events and other potential future crises. This seminar will explore how LTC systems can prepare for climate-related emergencies and crises, considering lessons from the difficulties that countries, including the United Kingdom, faced when trying to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This hybrid event is run by Green Templeton’s Care Initiative led by Professor Mary Daly.  After the talk there will be a short drinks reception in the Stables Bar.

 

Speaker: 

Dr Adelina Comas-Herrera, Director, Global Observatory of Long-Term Care, London School of Economics
