On this International Day of Older Persons, we focus attention on the resilience of the more than one billion older women and men in a changing world.

The past years have witnessed dramatic upheavals – and older people often found themselves at the epicenter of crises.
几年来，各种剧变接踵而至，而老年人往往处于危机的中心。
They are particularly vulnerable to a range of challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the worsening climate crisis, proliferating conflicts, and growing poverty.
冠状病毒病大流行，气候危机逐渐加深，各种冲突持续扩散，贫困状况日益严重，这一系列问题特别容易伤害到老年人。
Yet in the face of these threats, older people have inspired us with their remarkable resilience.

By 2030, 1.4 billion people will be at least 60 years old.

Our task as societies and as the global community is to address the challenges of longevity – and unleash its potential.
