Project No. HWG_07_2025S Project Title The 1st APEC Healthy Aging Policy Dialogue Project Status Project in Implementation Population aging represents one of the most significant demographic changes in the APEC region, bringing challenges and opportunities to healthcare systems, economies, and social development. By adopting active, life-course strategies for healthy aging, APEC economies can reduce the burden of age-related diseases, enhance the quality of life for older adults, and foster more inclusive and resilient societies. It is crucial to explore effective pathways to deal with the challenges of population aging within a limited timeframe to mitigate its socioeconomic impacts. This project plans to convene the 1st APEC Healthy Aging Policy Dialogue in Beijing, China, from July 19 to 22, 2025. The policy dialogue will bring representatives from governments, NGOs, academia, and industry across APEC economies. Through discussions on policies and best practices, innovation and development, and international cooperation related to healthy aging, the policy dialogue aims to form the draft action plan for addressing population aging and health issues in the APEC region. This will provide policymakers and stakeholders in APEC economies with valuable insights to support the formulation and implementation of effective healthy aging initiatives. |
