GreenerAge: Empowering Sustainable Transitions through Adult Education for 55+ people

Climate and sustainable actions should consider their participation and engagement. With accumulated life experiences, maturity, time, and knowledge, older adults can play a pivotal role in advancing a greener future, both at the individual and community levels.

57-59Megtekintések száma:41Older adults often live with chronic conditions for extended periods, leading them to make daily decisions about managing their illnesses, including lifestyle choices, diet, and medications (Alqahtani &, 2022).

However, the swift expansion of digital health has introduced certain advancements that have somewhat eased health management for caregivers and older adults. On the other hand, while digital health literacy empowers individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, people in vulnerable conditions, which often includes older adults (Jung , et al., 2022), namely those with limited socioeconomic resources, encounter difficulties in keeping up with technological progress.
