Vytenis Deimantas was honoured to present updates from the GGP at the 17th meeting of the UNECE Statistics Standing Working Group on Ageing. The meeting took place at the Palais des Nations in Geneva and brought together national focal points on ageing from UNECE member states, along with representatives from NGOs, academia, and international organisations.
The Standing Working Group on Ageing is an intergovernmental body under the UNECE Executive Committee. Meeting annually in November, the working group reviews achievements, sets the agenda for the coming year, and promotes international collaboration on ageing issues.
Vytenis emphasised how the GGP contributes to the Standing Working Group on Ageing mission by offering actionable insights that support the development of policies addressing demographic challenges. His presentation underscored the GGP’s role in fostering evidence-based policymaking, ensuring governments are equipped to respond to population ageing and intergenerational dynamics effectively.
