Reframing Ageing
Rapid population ageing is transforming societies and economies, presenting both challenges and opportunities that demand a comprehensive rethink of ageing.
The 2024 Asia-Pacific Regional Conference took place in Bali, Indonesia, from 11-13 September 2024, at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC). This multi-stakeholder event provided a dynamic platform for sharing experiences, learning from innovations, and establishing connections among stakeholders from across the region and beyond.
The conference convened 479 Indonesian and international participants and presenters to examine ageing from diverse viewpoints, emphasising the importance of fostering dialogue on strategies that prioritise fairness and equity for present and future older generations. In addition to addressing the complexities of ageing, the event explored intersections with significant processes such as climate change and technological development, underscoring the importance of integrated approaches to global challenges.
This event was organised by HelpAge International in partnership with the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) of Indonesia and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). It was supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Age International, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), INKLUSI (Australia-Indonesia Partnership Towards an Inclusive Society), the SKALA–Synergies and Collaboration to Accelerate Service Delivery, the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and Tsao Foundation.
