You are cordially invited to the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development side event entitled “Making Sustainable Development Work at All Ages: Eradicating Poverty and Promoting Prosperity for Older Persons”.

Since the launch of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particular attention has been paid to the goal of eradicating poverty and ensuring shared prosperity and respect for the human rights of all people, with no one left behind. Yet, in order to achieve the 2030 Agenda’s call to end poverty in all forms everywhere, Governments and all stakeholders must coordinate to address issues associated with ageing populations, including income insecurity, poor health, violence, abuse and discrimination on the grounds of age.
