It promotes policies that support healthy aging, protect their rights, and ensure access to healthcare, social inclusion, and opportunities to stay active and engaged in society. The plan emphasizes the importance of respecting older people's dignity, addressing age-related challenges, and fostering an age-friendly environment where everyone can age with security and independence. Its goal is to create a world where aging is viewed positively and older adults can live fulfilling lives.
