Changing Climate of Policies in the United States and Implications for Older Adults.

Abstract

Since the beginning of the second Trump Administration there have been changes in relationships and global agreements, Executive Orders that supported fossil fuel energy while limiting environmental health protections, and communications related to climate change. These changes risk the health of older adults. Nurses must engage with policymakers and advocate to rollback polices that negatively influence health to protect older adults from climate change-related health risks.
