Abstract: While a large body of research has examined the impacts of climate change on human health, knowledge about the impacts of climate change on household financial decisions remains limited. This paper empirically examines whether climate change impairs the financial literacy of elderly people, who are the most financially vulnerable population segment. Using survey data of 15,000 elderly Australians, we find that higher temperatures generated by climate change erode the elderly’s financial literacy. This negative impact is stronger for males with lower human capitals. Mitigating the negative consequences is of vital importance as they are likely to expose substantial financial costs to retired households.
