Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation
Climate change is having an immediate and sometimes life-threatening impact, especially for older adults – generally speaking, people 65 or older.Older adults often face mobility, cognitive, and resource challenges, which contribute to a disproportionate number of deaths in the face of major disasters.But some challenges are less visible. Consider the grandparent who no longer can stand and wait at the bus stop because of the heat, or the retiree who lives in a home with black mould due to chronic flooding that she can’t afford to remediate or leave because of her limited fixed income.Our population is aging—by 2034, the US will have more people over 65 than under 18.Despite the evidence that climate change is severely impacting older adults, and the reality that communities will be confronted with more frequent and more severe disasters, we’re not prepared to address the needs of older adults and other vulnerable populations in the face of a changing climate. In Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation, community resilience and housing expert Danielle Arigoni argues that we cannot achieve true resilience until communities adopt interventions that work to meet the needs of their oldest residents.She explains that when we plan for those most impacted by climate, and for those with the greatest obstacles to opportunity and well-being, we improve conditions for all. Arigoni explores how to integrate age-friendly resilience into community planning and disaster preparedness efforts through new planning approaches—including an age-friendly process, and a planning framework dedicated to inclusive disaster recovery—to create communities that serve the needs of older adults better, not only during disasters but for all the days in between.Examples are woven throughout the book, including case studies of age-friendly resilience in action from New York State; Portland, Oregon and Multnomah County; and New Orleans.Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation will help professionals and concerned citizens understand how to best plan for both the aging of our population and the climate changes underway so that we can create safer, more liveable communities for all.

What are anti-aging and pro-aging?
Anti-aging refers to products, treatments, and lifestyle choices that aim to slow down or reverse the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. This can include skincare products, cosmetic procedures, and healthy habits like regular exercise and a balanced diet. On the other hand, pro-aging is a mindset that embraces the natural aging process and focuses on living a fulfilling and active life at any age. Pro-aging encourages self-acceptance, self-care, and a positive attitude towards getting older, rather than trying to fight or reverse the aging process.

How can one perform dry aging in a aging bag without a vacuum sealer?
To perform dry aging in an aging bag without a vacuum sealer, you can use the "open bag" method. Place the meat in the aging bag and remove as much air as possible by hand before sealing it tightly with a zip tie or butcher's twine. Make sure the bag is sealed securely to prevent air from entering. Place the sealed bag on a wire rack in the refrigerator and allow the meat to dry age as usual, flipping it every few days for even aging.
