In this op-ed for The Conversation UK, Gary Haq discusses how older people tend to be the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and points to how they can be empowered to tackle this global problem.
Older people are more vulnerable to extreme weather, whether that is through direct health impacts like heat-related deaths and hospitalizations resulting from injury during storms, or through more indirect threats such as lacking the technology to receive timely warnings about wildfires.
However, older people also have much to offer in the fight against climate change: their voting power, economic influence and local knowledge are of enormous value to the climate movement.
