On this International Day of Older Persons, we focus attention on the resilience of the more than one billion older women and men in a changing world.

The past years have witnessed dramatic upheavals – and older people often found themselves at the epicenter of crises.

They are particularly vulnerable to a range of challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the worsening climate crisis, proliferating conflicts, and growing poverty.

Yet in the face of these threats, older people have inspired us with their remarkable resilience.

By 2030, 1.4 billion people will be at least 60 years old.

Our task as societies and as the global community is to address the challenges of longevity – and unleash its potential.
