This book offers a vital examination of the interplay between ageing, wellbeing, and climate change in the Arctic, providing essential insights for various fields.
The book Ageing, Wellbeing and Climate Change in the Arctic explores the critical intersection of three pressing issues: ageing populations, overall wellbeing, and the impacts of climate change within the Arctic region. This interdisciplinary work fills a significant gap in research, as there is a scarcity of literature and resources addressing these interconnected topics. The authors delve into how the unique challenges faced by the Arctic, including rapid environmental changes and demographic shifts, necessitate a comprehensive understanding of their implications on the local communities.
As climate change continues to reshape the Arctic landscape, the effects on the wellbeing of its ageing population become increasingly evident. The book emphasizes the urgent need for information and research that can inform policy and practice. It highlights the transformation of living conditions due to both environmental degradation and the demographic realities of an ageing society. The authors argue that addressing these challenges requires collaboration across various disciplines, including gerontology, social policy, and environmental science.
Ageing, Wellbeing and Climate Change in the Arctic is not only a scholarly contribution but also a call to action for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. By examining the intersection of these critical areas, the book aims to foster a deeper understanding of how to support the wellbeing of Arctic communities in the face of climate change and demographic shifts.
