🌡️ Rising Heat & Climate Change: Protecting Our Seniors 🌳
🌍 As part of the Ageingreen project, we are working to raise awareness about how the climate crisis affects older adults – and how we can take action together. Extreme heat is becoming more frequent due to climate change, and seniors are among the most vulnerable.
🧓 Older adults may have difficulty regulating body temperature and can be more affected by heat because of health conditions or medications.
Here are some simple tips to stay safe during hot days:
✅ Drink plenty of water
✅ Stay in the shade—trees and covered areas help!
✅ Go for walks in the early morning or evening
✅ Visit libraries, community centers, or other public places with air conditioning
✅ Check in on elderly friends and neighbors
❤️Even small steps can make a big difference. Let us protect and support our older generations as our planet warms.
