This CSocD63 side event, co-organized by Spanish Institute of Older Persons and Social, the Permanent Mission of Spain to the UN and UNDESA, aims to raise awareness about the significance of population ageing and advocate for a person-centered model of long-term care. By framing the discussion within a social development perspective, the event seeks to highlight the importance of this issue in the context of the forthcoming Second World Summit on Social Development. It calls for a cultural shift toward community-based care systems that empower older persons, promote their autonomy, and ensure their inclusion in society. Spain aims to lead this transformative change and foster global dialogue on innovative and sustainable approaches to long-term care.
