After many years, a World Congress on Age-Friendly Cities and Communities will be held in a European country, Spain, for the first time again. The Congress will offer a timely and important opportunity to reflect on progress since the Global Network’s creation and during the first half of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030).

“Transforming Together! A Connected, Equitable and Sustainable Age Friendly World for all generations". This 3rd Congress will focus on our changing world, identify emerging opportunities including intergenerational connectedness, digital inclusion, caring and resilience in communities in the face of climate changes, conflict and pandemics, as well as identify other gaps.
