In the autonomous region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, 34% of the population is over 60. The picture is similar in the whole Alpine Space, and especially in the mountain areas. However, policies for a healthy and active ageing are often managed by healthcare authorities at local level. ASTHAG focused on the need for cooperation in policy-making for the elderly. It established a transnational governance board for the coordination and assessment of regional policies and published a portfolio of good practices and innovations to promote active and healthy ageing in each territory.
