August: Intergenerational solidarity: creating a world for all ages
12 August is International Youth Day. Action is needed across all generations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and leave no one behind. Ageism is an insidious and often an unaddressed issue in health, human rights and development, and has bearings on both older and younger populations around the world. In addition, ageism regularly intersects with other forms of bias (such as racism and sexism) and impacts people in ways that prevent them to reach their full potential and comprehensively contribute to their community. Solidarity across generations is key for sustainable development.
