The greatest impact of the climate crisis on aging, the UN report – eSHOP24X7
The 2025 Frontiers report has analyzed rapid threats, such as temperature, floods, melting glaciers and ruins infrastructure, especially the risks that have highly and unequal way affect weak and sensitive classes.
The report has also revealed that since the 1990s, people 65 years or older have increased by approximately 85% death due to heat.
The climatic crisis deepens the population of elders
According to the report, “Tapalharan, floods and ice merger are one of the most mortal effects of climate change. We have to be ready to face them, especially to protect the most sensitive classes such as the elderly.”
The report said that older people often face chronic diseases, difficulty walking or physical weakness, face a fatal threat in scorching heat.
These threats increase even more when they live in contaminated and crowded coastal cities or areas, where the elderly have more population and sea level is continuously increasing.
Inform recommendations
The report recommends that cities be free of contamination, strong and accessible to the universal, where there is the proper presence of green areas.
This includes important strategies to guarantee well -planned urban development, community -based disaster risk management and better access to climate -related information for the elderly population.
The United Nations Human Rights Council, at the beginning of 2025, approved a new resolution, under which a binding legal document will be prepared at international level, on the human rights of the elderly.
This is a step that is considered important to guarantee the safety of people who face the greatest impact of climate change.
Chronic melted germs
The report offers another warning that viruses, bacteria and fungi of thousands of years can be reactivated by merger of glaciers and permanent frozen soil.
At the same time, revived germs, antimicrobial resistance can increase, which will make infection treatment difficult.
The report also clearly identified the dangers associated with the reactivation of chemical substances, which, given their serious risks, prohibiting decades ago, were gradually abolished.
However, these chemicals remain buried in sediments for years and can go to the surface in case of flooding.
When flood water rotates the soil and agitation of the debris, these toxic chemicals can re -act and enter urban areas or the food supply system, which can cause serious damage to both health and the environment.
In the report, many effective measures have been recommended to reduce this growing danger, such as the traditional flood control structure, better drainage systems, regular monitoring of pollutants and the study of the economic effects of this type of pollution.
Dilated dams and ecological crisis
This report indicates a new threat: the risk of old and moody dams. These dams, although they provide benefits such as irrigation and electricity, can cause serious damage to tribal communities, fishing and ecosystems.
According to the report, the tendency to eliminate unsafe and useless dams in Europe and North America is increasing.
This restores the natural current of rivers and helps to relive biodiversity and ecosystem, which is in line with the United Nations Restoration Initiative for Ecology.
Required action
This seventh edition of the Report is part of the UNEP PENSITION TRAJECTORY INITIATIVE. This report not only identifies emerging environmental threats, but also presents its possible solutions.
The first report published in 2016, four years before the Kovid-19 epidemic, warned about the risk of zunotic diseases.
This 2025 report has arrived at a time when areas such as Asia, Europe and America are fighting with the scorching heat and records.
This year’s message is equally clear and clear: time comes out of our hands.
The executive director of UNEP, Anderson, warned: “We have solutions. We can protect the elderly, revive the ecosystem and avoid the next climate related disaster, but this is possible only when we take immediate and decisive measures.”
