Abstract

In 2019, the United States of America National Academy of Medicine (NAM) charged an international, independent, and multidisciplinary commission with the development of a consensus report: “The Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity,” to assess the challenges presented by population ageing and make evidence-based recommendations for how these challenges can be translated into opportunities for societies globally. In this paper, we highlight these recommendations, and show how they can generate a virtuous cycle, starting with a whole-of-society investment in key enablers, especially social infrastructure, the physical environment, health systems, work and volunteerism opportunities, and lifelong learning and retraining, with social cohesion, equity, and a strong social compact at the centre, resulting in populations having good health throughout their life course, triggering a longevity dividend from untapped human, social and economic capital as life spans increase.
