Effective Climate Messaging for Seniors: What the Latest Research Tells Us

Canadian Seniors’ interest in climate change extends far beyond feeling a greater connection with the natural world. More than seven in ten (74%) express that the government should be doing more to tackle climate change, and seven in ten (70%) believe they can personally help to reduce emissions. It’s clear that seniors are ready to act, and many will bring decades of experience to any climate action they undertake.

Equipped with fresh research from EcoAnalytics, on November 29th, Climate Legacy and Re.Climate are excited to present a new webinar exploring the unique ways that seniors engage with climate action. If you would like to improve your messaging and better tailor your work to engage seniors, we hope to see you there.
