As part of the National Academy of Medicine’s Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity, an International Commission that includes stakeholders and representatives from key participating institutions worldwide worked together to perform an assessment of the existing and projected risks, challenges, and opportunities presented by global aging.

This Commission recommended global priorities and actions to be addressed by 2030 to optimize the health, function, and well-being of all people into later life. The Commission is geographically/demographically diverse and consists of eminent individuals from both the public and private sectors with expertise in gerontology and geriatrics, demography, the social determinants of health, behavioral health, built environments, business and workforce, economics, health care delivery and financing, biomedical science and technology, and health and finance policy, among others.

Many of the Commissioners were “dual-hatted” as members of the “workstream teams” (or workshop planning committees). The Commission worked across the workstream teams to define the workshop tasks, agendas, and workshop speakers.
