Population ageing is one of four major global demographic trends, alongside population growth, urbanization, and international migration. Despite the increasing prominence of demographic ageing, most countries remain insufficiently prepared to effectively respond to the emerging challenges and to harness the opportunities associated with changing population age structures. The implementation of healthy ageing policies requires coordinated efforts from intergovernmental organizations—primarily the United Nations and the World Health Organization—as well as from national governments, guided by a comprehensive understanding and consideration of the diverse needs of older populations. This review presents the system of key activities of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030), based on an analysis of reports from the World Health Organization and national healthy ageing policies implemented across various countries. The paper examines the evolution of normative documents shaping conceptual approaches to healthy ageing, key trends in national ageing policies taking into account regional specificities of demographic ageing, and the integration of ageing-related topics into national programs and strategic documents of the United Nations. Interim results of the implementation of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030) in 2021–2023 are analyzed. The review emphasizes substantial differences in planning instruments used at various international, national, and regional levels within the framework of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030). It is established that most national ageing policies have been developed in alignment with the priority areas of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (2002), whereas also significantly overlapping with the main goals and objectives of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030
