This interdisciplinary collection explores how older adults actively contribute to sustainable development. Featuring real-world examples from the Asia-Pacific and beyond, it highlights how age-friendly cities, inclusive technologies, and community-led initiatives transform aging into a catalyst for social and environmental progress. The book reframes aging as an opportunity—demonstrating how older adults enhance health systems, foster intergenerational collaboration, and strengthen community resilience.
Drawing from public health, gerontology, urban planning, and digital innovation, the chapters examine accessible design, sustainable healthcare, and policy reform. Topics such as active ageing, lifelong participation, and healthy longevity are addressed through practical strategies that support inclusive sustainability.
Designed for academics, policymakers, and practitioners, this timely volume bridges theory and application across global contexts. By placing older adults at the center of sustainability efforts, it offers a compelling roadmap for building equitable, age-inclusive societies—where all generations thrive and contribute meaningfully to shared futures.
