According to the Council of Europe, Europe stands at a decisive moment as its demographic landscape undergoes rapid change. By 2050 almost one in three Europeans will be over 65, amounting to more than 134.5 million people.
To address this transformation and its impact on health and social systems, economies, and the very fabric of our societies and democracies the Council of Europe and the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) hosted a thematic conference on 9 December 2025 in Strasbourg.
