Global Coalition On In November 2022, the Global Coalition on Aging released its compendium, “Business Leadership in the Decade of Healthy Ageing: Compendium of Best Practices Across the Private Sector,” to highlight actions of the business community to advance the goals of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing. While conventional perspectives on aging tend to focus on rising costs and pressure on our healthcare system, innovation across a variety of sectors are helping to shift the role that our aging population plays across society. The report details nine key areas critical to the healthy aging initiative:
-
- Reframing Financial Wellbeing
- Workforce
- Care & Caregiving
- Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia
- Adult Immunization
- Bone Health
- Vision Health
- Education & Awareness
- Digital Health
The Compendium builds on the GCOA’s earlier report, “Decade of Healthy Ageing Demystified,” which aims to clarify the opportunities for the business community to engage in and help advance the goals of the Decade of Healthy Ageing. The report offers key questions and opportunities for business leaders to formulate and execute upon their aging strategies. These are organized according to the Decade’s four core action areas: combatting ageism, integrated care, age-friendly environments, and long-term care.
