Join us for a transformative virtual summit focused on building climate resilient communities in partnership with older adults.
Climate change and extreme weather present unique challenges, and this summit will make the case for why engaging older adults is essential for effective solutions. We'll demonstrate the importance of intentionally including older residents—including those in their 80s, 90s, and beyond—in planning, developing, and deploying effective community-based responses to climate change.
This summit will connect climate experts, policy leaders, and community members to focus on practical strategies for engaging older adults in building climate resilience. Participants will gain actionable insights into creating communities that intentionally address the needs of older residents and empower them to lead and implement effective responses to climate change and extreme weather—a critical step towards achieving true age equity in climate action.
