Global Ageing Network participated in the United Nation’s 13th Open Ended Working Group meeting in April 2025 to continue deliberations about the establishment of a UN Convention on the Rights of Older People (UN OEWGA). We are active members of the NGO Committee on Ageing and support their board agenda.
