Join our learning community for a live, online conversation with author and climate activist, Rick Moody! In this episode, we will discuss Moody’s recently published book, Climate Change in an Aging Society.
Climate Change in an Aging Society is the first book fully devoted to the impact of climate change on those who are old today — and those who will be old in decades to come. Moody focuses on issues of critical importance:
- Aging in place,
- Health and age in a warming world,
- Responsibility for the climate crisis,
- Options for climate-conscious consumers,
- Planning for investment for a green retirement,
- and opportunities for political action.
