Agu Laius, a member of the board of the non-profit organization Kuldne Liiga, highlights the importance of representing the interests of older adults in municipal development plans in Estonia. Supported by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Kuldne Liiga has established an advocacy network that includes over 20 different organizations and institutions focused on various issues affecting older adults. This network regularly holds meetings to discuss relevant topics and propose legislative initiatives that serve the interests of this demographic.

The network has received approval for principles aimed at creating an age-friendly Estonia, which will guide their activities and advocacy efforts. These principles not only serve to raise awareness of the challenges faced by older residents but also aim to ensure that their voices are heard in local policymaking. As Estonia's population continues to age, the emphasis on age-friendly policies is seen as essential for promoting the well-being and inclusion of older individuals in society.

By leveraging the collective efforts of various organizations, Agu Laius believes that significant progress can be made in steering governmental focus toward the unique needs of older adults. This initiative represents a broader trend in Estonia to prioritize inclusivity and representation across all sectors of society, ensuring that aging citizens are recognized and supported in their communities.
