IDOP: October 7, 2010
International Day of Older Persons
THURSDAY, 7 OCTOBER 2010
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
“Older Persons and the Achievement of the Millennium Development Goals"
The United Nations together with communities around the world will commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the International Day of Older Persons (IDOP). The IDOP will build on significant UN milestones that acknowledge older persons as an increasingly major segment of society and continue the dialogue on the implementation of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing and the United Nations UN Principles for Older Persons.
Governments and the UN affirmed their collective responsibility to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality, and equity in the form of eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which will be evaluated in 2010. The 2010 IDOP will examine progress towards achieving the MDGs from the perspective of empowerment of older persons, giving attention to their inclusion, their participation in society and promotion of a positive image of ageing. The event will present KEYNOTE SPEAKERS and REPRESENTATIVES providing global, regional and local perspectives.
