The aim of this project, led by older rights-holders, is to up skill a group of older people to apply the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty and specifically it’s Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessment to Ireland’s international development policy as it relates to older people and climate change. This group of older people, as peer researchers, will also gather evidence highlighting the differential impact of climate change on older people globally. The group will engage with the Department of Foreign Affairs to share the evidence and recommendations produced to inform the Department’s Public Sector Duty obligations in future iterations of Ireland’s policy for international development as it relates to older people and climate change.
