The Decade is aligned with the last ten years of the Sustainable Development Goals, to promote and strengthen multisectoral and multi-stakeholder partnering to foster healthy ageing as well as to improve the lives of older people, their families, and the communities in which they live. The resolution invites the Secretary-General to inform the UN General Assembly about the progress of the implementation of the Decade based on triennial reports to be compiled by WHO in 2023, 2026, and 2029. To report on the progress, a process evaluation survey has been undertaken by WHO. In response, a large majority of the WHO European Member States have participated in the survey and in addition, in response to the rapid ageing population, majority of the Member States have instituted policies and initiatives to foster healthy ageing including a growing number of country cooperation and projects at the Regional Office, with ageing mainstreamed in the work of numerous programmes in the Regional Office. A core aim of the summit is to review the status of implementation and process evaluation of the Decade in Europe and to discuss policy innovations and promising practice in the context of rapidly ageing populations. The summit will be a timely opportunity: • To review progress in countries with policies that address the health and social care needs of ageing populations and the opportunities of growing longevity; • To raise awareness of the Decade and its linkages with other agendas and mechanisms including the WHO Global strategy and action plan on ageing and health 2016–2030, the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs); • To discuss mainstreaming ageing into emergency contexts including climate-induce disasters and implement emergency preparedness through age-friendly initiatives at national and local levels; • To present new WHO tools and recent policy guidance and to identify remaining gaps; • To consider how to close gaps in evidence and improve monitoring systems to trace progress at national and international level; • To discuss how to strengthen international cooperation in Europe and explore synergies between initiatives while promoting multisectoral engagement and cooperation; and 1 WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ORGANISATION MONDIALE DE LA SANTÉ REGIONAL OFFICE FOR EUROPE BUREAU RÉGIONAL DE L'EUROPE WELTGESUNDHEITSORGANISATION ВСЕМИРНАЯ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯ ЗДРАВООХРАНЕНИЯ REGIONALBÜRO FÜR EUROPA ЕВРОПЕЙСКОЕ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЕ БЮРО • To discuss the role of older persons, ensuring their meaningful engagement in the implementation of the Decade, including through the applications of human-rights related approaches. Expected outcomes of the summit include: • Obtain feedback on a draft WHO Europe’s Framework of Action on Ageing; • Exchange of notable practices from countries; and • Establish a network of focal points for further advocacy and implementation of the decade 2 WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ORGANISATION MONDIALE DE LA SANTÉ WELTGESUNDHEITSORGANISATION Date: 6 June 2023 ВСЕМИРНАЯ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯ ЗДРАВООХРАНЕНИЯ REGIONAL OFFICE FOR EUROPE Ms Elen Ohov BUREAU RÉGIONAL DE L’EUROPE REGIONALBÜRO FÜR EUROPA Adviser ЕВРОПЕЙСКОЕ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЕ БЮРО European Union Affairs and International Co- Head office: operation Department UN City, Marmorvej 51, Ministry of Social Affairs DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark Suur-Ameerika 1 Tel.: +45 45 33 70 00; Fax: +45 45 33 70 01 Email: [email protected] 10122 Tallinn Website: http://www.euro.who.int Estonia Our reference: Your reference: Notre référence: Votre référence: Unser Zeichen: Ihr Zeichen: См. наш номер: На Ваш номер: Dear Ms Ohov, Regional summit on Healthy Ageing and Policy Innovation in the WHO European Region Lisbon, Portugal, 10-11 October 2023 I am honoured to inform you that the WHO Regional Office for Europe is co-hosting the Regional Summit on Healthy Ageing and Policy Innovation to be held in Lisbon, Portugal on 10-11 October 2023, together with the Directorate General of Health of Portugal.
