What: “Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation” – virtual presentation by Daniel Arigoni, author and Managing Director for Policy and Solutions at National Housing Trust.

This talk will provide an overview of how and why climate change differently impacts older adults, and the range of solutions and strategies that can be deployed to reduce risk.

When: September 10, 2024 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm
