Rick Moody, an advocate for climate change action, will discuss the importance of acknowledging and addressing the threat of climate change, particularly in the context of aging.

• How personal experiences motivate people to act and how connecting with younger generations is crucial.
• How individuals can contribute to addressing climate change as consumers, investors, and citizens
• The ongoing struggles and the importance of personal connections and intergenerational work in climate change
• A message of hope and the belief that everyone can take action to address the climate crisis.
• Resources about several organizations focused on aging and climate and how to find other resources, including Third Act, Elders for Climate Action, Gray is Green, Friends of the Earth, and Sierra
