Desarrollando comunidades amistosas para los mayores

Description: John Beard, Director of the Department of Ageing and Life Course with the World Health Organization in Geneva, details how making cities and communities age-friendly is one of the most effective local policy approaches for responding to demographic ageing. Older persons play a crucial role in their communities, and these contributions can only be ensured if they enjoy good health and if societies address their needs. The WHO Age-friendly Environments Programme is an international effort to address the environmental and social factors that contribute to active and healthy ageing. John Feather, Grantmakers In Aging CEO, moderates the session. From December 10, 2012.
