Elders Climate Action is a national nonprofit organization founded in 2014 that mobilizes older Americans to advocate for climate solutions and environmental protection. The organization empowers elders to use their voices, voting power, and experience to support policies that address climate change and promote a livable planet for future generations.
Elders Climate Action advocates for federal and state legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, accelerate the transition to renewable energy, promote energy efficiency, support climate justice, protect public lands, and strengthen environmental regulations. The organization also supports civic engagement initiatives aimed at increasing voter participation around climate issues.
The organization is primarily funded through individual donations, foundation grants, and member contributions.
Elders Climate Action collaborates with national environmental organizations and climate coalitions and was founded by environmental advocate Stephen M. Silberstein.
