Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Climate change is a public health threat that disproportionately impacts certain groups more than others. Getting old is something that most of us will experience during our lifetime, and older adults are among those at elevated risk for adverse impacts due to climate change. As a result, it behooves us as a society to consider how we will approach mitigating climate change impacts on older adults. We must carefully consider what ethical principles underpin the policies and laws that affect older adults, particularly as the world is facing increasing challenges with the distribution of resources. This paper argues for an ethical approach to climate change and older adults that is based on the care-ethic framework developed by Gilligan, Tronto and Fisher using case studies from New Zealand and Italy to illustrate how this framework could be applied.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
