Those\nparticularly at risk include individuals with limited mobility, multimorbidity,\nor social isolation. Care and support systems therefore need to implement\nmeasures for both climate change mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation\nencompasses reducing energy and water consumption, minimising waste, decreasing\nreliance on fossil fuels, managing chemicals, and strengthening political and\nregulatory cooperation. Adaptation involves capacity building, technological\ninnovation, financial management, education and research, monitoring and\nevaluation, as well as institutional and social support. The effectiveness of\nstructural, organisational, and social measures, such as thermally resilient\nbuildings, efficient ventilation and cooling systems, emergency power supply,\nsecure water and waste infrastructure, hygiene standards, and community-based\nsupport services, is well documented. Good practice examples, including\ncommunity-based support in home settings, structural and technical modernisation\nin care facilities, and strategic instruments in procurement and governance,\ndemonstrate that climate-resilient strategies enhance care security, support the\nprevention of care dependency, improve the quality of life of older people, and\nsimultaneously achieve ecological and economic objectives. Climate mitigation\nand adaptation are integral components of future-oriented, needs-based care,\npositioning care facilities and community structures as key levers for\nsustainable transformation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2886-3229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]],"date-time":"2026-10-07T08:37:25Z","timestamp":1791362245000},"page":"S394-S403","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"special_numbering":"S","title":["Adaptation to Climate Change and Climate Protection in Geriatric Care\nfor Older People: Strategies, Infrastructure, and Good Practice\nExamples"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"88","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5218-1160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas E.","family":"Dorner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Vienna, Centre for Public Health, Department of\nSocial and Preventive Medicine, Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Academy for Ageing Research, Haus der Barmherzigkeit, Vienna,\nAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1408-321X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea E.","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gesundheit \u00d6sterreich GmbH (Austrian National Public Health Institute),\nCompetence Centre for Climate and Health, Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matei","family":"Capatu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy for Ageing Research, Haus der Barmherzigkeit, Vienna,\nAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anita","family":"Sackl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gesundheit \u00d6sterreich GmbH (Austrian National Public Health Institute),\nDepartment for Health Professions and Long Term Care, Vienna,\nAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophia","family":"Spagl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gesundheit \u00d6sterreich GmbH (Austrian National Public Health Institute),\nCompetence Centre for Climate and Health, Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruperta","family":"Lichtenecker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gesundheit \u00d6sterreich GmbH (Austrian National Public Health Institute),\nCompetence Centre for Climate and Health, Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans-Peter","family":"Hutter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Vienna, Centre for Public Health, Department of\nEnvironmental Health, Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1861","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(15)60854-6","article-title":"Health and climate change: policy responses to protect public health","volume":"386","author":"N Watts","year":"2015","journal-title":"Lancet Lond Engl"},{"key":"ref2","volume-title":"Hrsg.
