On June 7, the Suzuki Elders invited seniors to learn about the impact of climate change on their health and communities.
The forum, organized by Eva Wadolna, featured a panel discussion with experts from Simon Fraser University, Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health Authority, and the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. Following the panel were several small-group discussions about the impact of climate change on seniors’ health and practical steps the government can take to tackle this issue.
The Suzuki Elders have recently published a report summarizing the panel presentations and the ideas generated during the small-group discussions. The report can be downloaded here.
