Resilient housing for older people: How to get ready for future climates
As Australia’s population ages, improving living environments for older people is more important than ever. This talk presents new guides to help make homes more resilient to future climates—especially as we age.
Developed by an interdisciplinary team from the University of Adelaide, the guides draw on research in architecture, public health, and gerontology, involving over 400 older South Australians since 2018.
The talk will share key findings and outline practical, affordable actions individuals can take to improve home resilience. Free hard and soft copies of the guides will be available.
