33rd John K. Friesen Conference

The Simon Fraser University Gerontology Research Centre (GRC) and the associated Department of Gerontology welcome you to the 33rd John K. Friesen Conference entitled “Climate Change in an Aging World.” Climate change and population aging are two intersecting global trends that significantly impact the health and social experiences of older people, healthcare and community/social systems, governments, the private sector, and social justice. The purpose of this conference is to bring together experts from academic, community, NGO, government, and private sectors to review emerging issues and share cutting-edge innovations to identify climate change adversities, and to enhance climate resilience among older adults and their families and communities to overcome these challenges. Highlights include keynote addresses; topical panel discussions, symposia, and poster displays presented by local, national, and international speakers representing community organizations, NGOs, government, and academic sectors.
