Defeating dementia: the road to 2025
Launched in December 2018, the WDC produced a five-year progress report to focus on the international community’s work towards the 2025 dementia goals. These goals are focused around four key areas: a disease-modifying therapy, living well, care, and reducing the impact of dementia. The report provides a review of what has happened in each area – what advances have been made, where activity has lagged, and what action the international community needs to take to accelerate progress.

No one country or individual alone can meet what is the biggest health challenge facing the international community. Read more about the projects the Council has held over recent years.
