- Title
Adopting an adaptation‑mitigation‑resilience framework to ageing.
- Authors
Gietel-Basten, Stuart
- Abstract
Population ageing is presented as one of the 'grand challenges' of the 21st century. Yet, policies designed to offset these challenges seem to be a jumbled, disjointed mix with no clear, overarching narrative. One of the successes of climate change science is the development of a clear, distinguishable framework to plan action: adaptation, mitigation and resilience. This framework can be applied to designing better policy for ageing: adapting to support people in need today; mitigating future challenges by ensuring that people and institutions 'age better'; and building resilience by developing both a longer-term perspective and policy learning framework.
