Global Conference on Ageing Themes
Digital Technologies and Practice
With the impacts of the pandemic still ever present, health care systems need to continue to evolve to meet the health requirements of an ageing population.
Older Women
The world’s population is ageing and this phenomenon has significant implications for almost all sectors of society, including the demand for goods and services and the labour and financial markets.
Maintaining and Improving Function
The key to healthy aging is the maintenance of function across the life course and prevention of frailty.
Immunisation for All Ages
Change in vaccine policy change is a long and arduous process especially in population groups often viewed as a burden on the health and social care system.
Age-friendly Environments
Physical, social and economic environments are important determinants of healthy ageing and powerful influences in the experience of ageing and the opportunities that ageing offers.
What you can expect
Building community through storytelling
In a data-driven world we can very often find our world reduced to numbers, statistics, and soundbites. While informative, if we use only those methods of understanding our world, we can miss the nuances and subtle differences in what it means to be human. Storytelling is an essential way to portray the complexity of the human experience and drive change through building community.
Meet, learn and be inspired
In crises, as in the fight for change, we are not all equal. Some of us have advantages, due to our socio-economic background, our access to education, our citizenship, our gender, or our race. For others the journey for change is ever more complex and requires tenacity, courage and conviction. Yet, many of us can have significant influence, including within our organisations
Help drive the change
The IFA has general consultative status at the United Nations and its agencies and is in formal relations with the World Health Organization. The IFA has been involved in drafting key initiatives such as the UN Principles for Older Persons, actively advocating for older people to be recognized in the Sustainable Development Goals, and maintaining a strong voice in the dialogue on how to best protect the rights of older people globally.
