Are you an older person worried about the climate for now and for future generations? Do you, like most older people, have concerns for your own health and how to maximise your health as you age? 

BOLD Climate Action presents “Healthy Ageing/ Healthy Planet”. This short series of webinars by BOLD is being delivered in partnership with Irish Doctors for the Environment and supported by Friends of the Earth.

Through the series we will delve into topics which highlight the positive and interdependent links between caring for our health as we age and caring for our ailing planet. This webinar series aims to provide practical, person-centred information and advice on taking better care of ourselves as we age. We want to show that as older people, we can choose to invest in our health in a way that also supports the health of the planet.

Our upcoming webinar 'Clean Air, Healthy Lives: Why It Matters at Every Age'

Speaker: Dr Sandra Green - Respiratory Registrar

Wednesday 6th May, 10 am - 11:30 am

Air is something we all share—and it shapes our health and wellbeing far more than most of us realise. In this webinar, we’ll explore why clean air matters from the very beginning of life right through to older age, and why there is no “safe” level of air pollution for our health.

We’ll look at how air pollution affects the body over a lifetime, contributing to heart disease, lung problems, dementia, and other conditions that many of us see in our families and communities. We’ll also discuss the wider social and economic costs of polluted air, including how it disproportionately affects disadvantaged communities and deepens social inequality.

Most importantly, this is a hopeful conversation. You’ll hear about proven, practical strategies that are already delivering cleaner air—locally and globally—and how informed citizens can play a powerful role in shaping healthier, fairer communities for future generations.
