Climate change and ageing are two of the biggest issues facing humanity this century yet explicit links between the two are rarely made.
For the growing numbers of the over 60s in the poorest countries, the impacts of climate change are already catastrophic and are likely to become worse.
HelpAge is calling for the voice of older people to be heard in the climate change debate. Older people have witnessed the impact of climate change throughout their lives. Their perspectives, responses and contributions count.
Click on the photos below to find out what older people have to say about climate change and how they are coping.
Join our "Older people: Witness to climate change" group on Flickr, upload your climate change photos or leave comments.
