Abstract：
Although older adults are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, they seem to be overall less concerned about it, and less inclined to support climate policies. The study aims to identify the communication strategies that have been evaluated in promoting awareness and/or climate friendly behaviors in older adults.
We searched multiple electronic databases for studies that evaluated the effects of any interventions aimed at communicating climate change to older persons (over 65 years) and assessed the results as awareness and /or behavioral changes. We selected quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods studies, and we also included systematic reviews for cross-referencing. Risk of bias of included studies was evaluated using different tools according to the study design.
From a total of 5,486 articles, only 3 studies were included. One mixed-method study engaged older adults to assess the community vulnerability to climate change and to develop adaptation recommendations based on their perspectives; one qualitative study conducted focus groups to identify the more effective language, values and themes based on participants\' responses to narratives; one quantitative study utilized a 360-degree audio-visual platform allowing users to engage with immersive visualizations of sea-level rise scenarios.
Despite the paucity of literature, this review demonstrates the potential for different strategies to increase the awareness of older persons about climate change. The involvement of older adults in the communication process, the identification of their priorities, and the integration of technology in their daily lives are promising approaches but more research, including both quantitative and qualitative studies is recommended on this topic.
For further details about the protocol, this systematic review has been registered on PROSPERO on July 1, 2023 (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42023438256).

摘要：
■尽管老年人特别容易受到气候变化的影响，他们似乎总体上不那么担心，不太倾向于支持气候政策。该研究旨在确定在促进老年人意识和/或气候友好行为方面进行评估的沟通策略。
■我们搜索了多个电子数据库，以评估旨在向老年人（65岁以上）传达气候变化的任何干预措施的效果，并将结果评估为意识和/或行为变化。我们选择了定量的，定性和混合方法研究，我们还包括了交叉引用的系统审查。根据研究设计使用不同的工具评估纳入研究的偏倚风险。
■在总共5,486篇文章中，仅纳入3项研究。一项混合方法研究让老年人评估社区对气候变化的脆弱性，并根据他们的观点制定适应建议；一项定性研究开展了焦点小组，以确定更有效的语言，基于参与者对叙述的反应的价值和主题;一项定量研究利用了360度视听平台，允许用户参与海平面上升场景的沉浸式可视化。
■尽管文献很少，这篇综述显示了不同策略的潜力，以提高老年人对气候变化的认识。老年人参与沟通过程，确定他们的优先事项，在他们的日常生活中整合技术是有希望的方法，但更多的研究，包括定量和定性研究都建议在这个主题上。
■有关协议的更多详细信息，这项系统审查已于2023年7月1日在PROSPERO上注册(https://www。crd.约克。AC.uk/prospro/display_record.php?ID=CRD42023438256)。
