Age is a powerful asset. The age of longevity is an opportunity to build a world where everyone can age with dignity, independence and purpose. By redesigning systems that support healthy ageing including stronger health and care services, integrated and long-term care, inclusive communities, social protection and age-friendly environments with accessible spaces, safe mobility, social connections and opportunities for participation, we can help older people stay healthy, connected and engaged throughout their lives.

Longer lives should also be healthier lives. Through balance, strength and movement, older adults can stay physically and mentally active.
