Healthy Ageing and Climate Change, 2023-2024

Through a community-based participatory approach, this project identified the barriers and opportunities to inclusive climate resilient AFCCs in consultation with older people, policymakers and practitioners, businesses, social enterprises and entrepreneurs. We co-designed solutions with these key stakeholder groups to achieve ‘actionable’ interventions that support healthy ageing for older people in response to the climate crisis. Qualitative datasets were collected across the study including a stakeholder event and dialogue workshops with older people. The findings identified a range of key findings for how we can support ageing in place in the context of a changing climate which were distilled into a recommendations document.
