Responding to Heatwaves in the Older People Ecosystem

Climate change has resulted in an increase, in the frequency, and severity of heat waves. The project HOPE (Responding to Heatwaves in the Older People Ecosystem) will put the severe health threats of heatwaves on the agenda of the older adult service and healthcare sectors with an inclusive approach for the whole ecosystem.

To achieve this goal six partners from the Netherlands: the City of Rotterdam and the University of Applied Sciences, Italy: Istituto per Servizi di Ricovero e Assistenza agli Anziani ISRAA, Portugal: Irmandade Da Santa Casa Da Misericordia Da Amadora Ipss, Greece: Social Cooperative Enterprise of Cyclades, France: Réseau européen pour l’ inclusion et l ‘action sociale locale, ELISAN  have joined forces.

The aims will be achieved through the following actions: 

Developing and strengthening competencies of students, informal caregivers, and professionals in older adult health, care and social sectors on better responding to the needs of older adults during heatwaves and thereby better mitigating the risks;

Designing and implementing an innovative teaching tool for students and formal/informal caregivers;
Increasing skills contributing to better care for older people;

Supporting and stimulating organisations in the older adults ecosystem to apply guidelines and best practices regarding care during heatwaves;

Developing  Guidelines for Ecosystems and a Database of Good Practices in collaboration with associated partners, older adults and caregivers,

Increasing  response capacity of older adults on how to mitigate the impact of heatwaves;

and managing their own health and wellbeing, Developing Policy Recommendation Supporting local and regional Authorities on how to play a role in the fight against heat risks for their older inhabitants and implementing in the municipalities connected to the project;

Exchanging best practices at Local, Regional, National, European and International level.

The results will be an integrated approach to be further adopted by other organisations and authorities, decreasing the morbidity and mortality rate and improving the care provided through collaboration, new policies and approaches, knowledge exchange and change management.

    It’s a great opportunity for the HOPE partnership and for other local and regional authorities at international level to benefit from your expertise as Alderman of the city of Rotterdam. We would be most interested by insights of the elderly care and climate adaptation policies of Rotterdam.

    What does the climate subject “heat” mean to you?

    The Netherlands, Rotterdam

    The city of Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands, it has an increasingly diverse population with over 170 nationalities represented in its estimated population of 651,000 while almost 1.5 million live in its conurbation.

    Following the population decline associated with de-industrialisation in the 1970s, the population of Rotterdam has continued to grow year on year. Rotterdam is one of the youngest cities in Europe (reflected by good universities), with 30% of the population under the age of 25. Despite this, the city continues to get older, and the number of senior citizens in Rotterdam is growing. By 2035, 1 in 5 Rotterdammers will be 65 years of age or older. The number of over-75s in particular will increase. Given the "island effect" (densely built-up city retains heat) in Rotterdam, an increased risk of disease and mortality is to be expected. Therefore, Rotterdam municipality started a local heat plan, which is part of Rotterdam's climate adaptation program Rotterdams Weerwoord (Rotterdam WeatherWise). The goal of Rotterdam's Weerwoord is to make Rotterdam climate-proof by 2025 as higher temperatures cause health problems among the elderly and the sick. Physical adaptation of the city means an opportunity for a more beautiful, multifunctional outdoor space with more chances to meet people. Climate change is not only a threat but also a possibility.
