Witness to climate change
Climate change and ageing are two of the biggest issues facing humanity this century, yet explicit links between the two are rarely made.
Find out why climate change matters to older people.
Impact
Climate change affects older people in a multitude of ways.
Melting ice caps, landslides and unpredictible weather have a huge impact on their day-to-day lives.
Agenda for action
HelpAge International is calling on policy makers to include older people in the “post-Copenhagen” agenda.
Briefing
HelpAge talked to older people in nine countries, to see what they think about climate change and how they are coping.
The results are published in our briefing, Witness to climate change: Voices of experience.
