Appendix D

Public Workshop Agendas

The commission held three workshops to gather information and convene global actors, and benefited substantially from expertise shared at each. The first, Social, Behavioral, and Environmental Enablers for Healthy Longevity, was held in Washington, DC, and hosted by AARP. The second, Health Care and Public Health Systems for Healthy Longevity, was held in Singapore and hosted by the National University Health System, Singapore. The final, Science and Technology for Healthy Longevity, was held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

the challenges and opportunities, as well as potential solutions and disruptive approaches to enhance social structures and living environments that would enable healthier and socially fulfilled lives and ultimately create thriving societies around the world.

Specifically, this workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions on topics including

  • theoretical foundations and key concepts and definitions for equitable healthy longevity;
  • existing evidence on the social, behavioral, and environmental enablers of healthy longevity, including determinants, pathways, and policy entry points;
  • critical challenges and gaps in current approaches for creating social and environmental structures that promote healthy behaviors across the life course and enable aging populations to lead meaningful and productive lives;
  • key successes of policies and programs in targeting the social, behavioral, and environmental determinants of health related to healthy longevity;
  • opportunities, approaches, and potential priorities—including the consideration of data, indicators, and measures that should be collected—for designing and applying social, behavioral, and environmental enablers to guide effective multisectoral solutions and actions that foster integrative care without medicalizing these solutions; and
  • effective mechanisms for stimulating meaningful collaboration among various relevant stakeholders across sectors and disciplines.

With unprecedented global aging, societies must undertake all-of-society efforts to maximize the benefits and minimize the burdens of aging populations. The Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity (Global Roadmap) describes a realistic vision of healthy longevity that could be achieved by 2050. The vision includes full inclusion of people of all ages, regardless of health or functional status, in all aspects of society and societies characterized by social cohesion and equity.

To achieve the vision, Global Roadmap recommends changes that need to be made to health systems, social infrastructure, physical environments, education, work, and retirement. In some cases, the recommended changes benefit older people most directly, but when older people thrive, people of all ages benefit. If taken up, the recommendations of this report can support individuals of all ages in all corners of the globe to live long, meaningful, and purpose-driven lives by 2050.
