AARP, in cooperation with the United Nations Programme on Ageing, Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), and United Nations University (UNU) will organize a series of luncheon briefings on key global aging issues from February 8-9, 2011.

The fifth annual AARP UN Briefing Series will commemorate the UN Commission for Social Development 49th session (February 8-19, 2011), which will devote its priority theme to "Poverty Eradication". To inform the discussions of the commission, innovative ideas in combating poverty along with the opportunities and challenges of global aging will be discussed. AARP will work with UNDESA and UNU to convene two luncheon briefings to bring together government delegates, NGOs, foundations, and academics.
