El término envejecimiento activo fue adoptado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud a finales de los años 90 con la intención de transmitir un mensaje más completo que el de envejecimiento saludable y, de este modo, reconocer los factores que junto a la atención sanitaria afectan a la manera de envejecer de los individuos y las poblaciones. El planteamiento del envejecimiento activo se basa en el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos de las personas mayores y en los principios de las Naciones Unidas de independencia, participación, dignidad, asistencia y realización de los propios deseos. Sustituye la planificación estratégica desde un planteamiento “basado en las necesidades” (que contempla a las personas mayores como objetivos pasivos) a otro “basado en los derechos”, que reconoce los derechos de las personas mayores a la igualdad de oportunidades y de trato en todos los aspectos de la vida a medida que envejecen. Según la Organización Mundial de la salud (OMS), el envejecimiento activo se define como “el proceso por el que se optimizan las oportunidades de bienestar físico, social y mental durante toda la vida, con el objetivo de ampliar la esperanza de vida saludable, la productividad y la calidad de vida en la vejez”. Esta definición no sólo contempla el envejecimiento desde la atención sanitaria, sino que incorpora todos los factores de las áreas sociales, económicas y culturales que afectan al envejecimiento de las personas. El envejecimiento activo se aplica tanto a los individuos como a los grupos de población, permitiendo a las personas realizar su potencial de bienestar físico, social y mental a lo largo de todo su ciclo vital, mientras participan en la sociedad de acuerdo con sus necesidades, deseos y capacidades, proporcionándoles protección, seguridad y cuidados adecuados cuando necesitan asistencia. El envejecimiento activo debe considerarse un objetivo primordial tanto de la sociedad como de los responsables políticos, intentando mejorar la autonomía, la salud y la productividad de los mayores mediante políticas activas que proporcionen su apoyo en las áreas de sanidad, economía, trabajo, educación, justicia, vivienda, transporte, respaldando su participación en el proceso político y en otros aspectos de la vida comunitaria.
This doctoral dissertation is divided in three chapters that advance our understanding of the relationship between population ageing, productivity, and social protection. The study starts at the root of these issues, by reviewing the definition of ageing. According to the World Health Organisation’s (2015) authoritative report, ageing at the individual level is related to social and biological characteristics that negatively affect a person’s capacity to pursue whatever they value, including their participation in the labour force. Across time, these characteristics are not necessarily linked to an individual’s age. However, the most common indicator of aggregate population ageing, the old-age dependency ratio (OADR), is exclusively based on the population age structure. Relying on such age-based (also called chronological) measures can create a bias in the way we understand the consequences of population ageing...
This handbook presents an overview of studies on the relationship of active ageing and quality of life. It addresses the new challenges of ageing from the paradigm of positive ageing (active, healthy and successful) for a better quality of life. It provides theoretical perspectives and empirical studies, including scientific knowledge as well as practical experiences about the good ageing and the quality of later life around the world, in order to respond to the challenges of an aged population. The handbook is structured in 4 sections covering theoretical and conceptual perspectives, social policy issues and research agenda, methods, measurement instrument-scales and evaluations, and lastly application studies including domains and geographical contexts.

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach

This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely—the majority of users—reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways. From the Foreword by Alan Marlatt, Ph.D.: “This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. In his introduction, Andrew Tatarsky describes harm reduction as a new paradigm for treating drug and alcohol problems. Some would say that harm reduction embraces a paradigm shift in addiction treatment, as it has moved the field beyond the traditional abstinence-only focus typically associated with the disease model and the ideology of the twelve-step approach. Others may conclude that the move toward harm reduction represents an integration of what Dr. Tatarsky describes as the “basic principles of good clinical practice” into the treatment of addictive behaviors. “Changing addiction behavior is often a complex and complicated process for both client and therapist. What seems to work best is the development of a strong therapeutic alliance, the right fit between the client and treatment provider. The role of the harm reduction therapist is closer to that of a guide, someone who can provide support an
