We invite you to dig deeper into GRAN issues through these upcoming and previously recorded webinars and online events and resources.
- Effective Climate Messaging for Seniors -- November 29, 1:30 ET. Join Climate Legacy and the Group of 78 for a new webinar examining how seniors differ from the broader population in terms of climate beliefs and activities, and how to use this information to better reach seniors with opportunities for climate action. 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. Amber Bennet, climate communication strategist and Dr. Louise Comeau, Senior Advisor at Re.Climate (and member of GRAN) will be the guest speakers. Click here to register.
