This document describes the plan for a Decade of Healthy Ageing 2021–2030,
which will consist of 10 years of concerted, catalytic, sustained collaboration.
Older people themselves will be at the centre of this plan, which will bring
together governments, civil society, international agencies, professionals,
academia, the media and the private sector to improve the lives of older
people, their families and their communities. It is the second action plan of the
WHO Global strategy on ageing and health, building on the United Nations
Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (1) and aligned with the timing
of the United Nations Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development (2) and the
Sustainable Development Goals.
