AAG report: Research on heatwaves and older people in Australia

The aim of this rapid evidence assessment was to analyse what we know about heatwaves and older people in Australia and to develop recommendations for policy and practice improvements.

This paper forms the final part of a larger project, 'Ageing Planet: Climate Change in an Ageing World', which is a collaboration between the International Longevity Centre (ILC) United Kingdom and AAG (as executive office for ILC Australia). Among other things, a key objective of the project is ‘to ensure that global policy on climate change recognises the importance of ageing.’
