Welcome to the United Nations
Did you know that today is the International Day of Happiness?
Happiness is a fundamental human goal. The United Nations General Assembly recognizes this goal and calls for “a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples.”
Governments and international organizations should invest in conditions that support happiness by upholding human rights and incorporating well-being and environmental dimensions into policy frameworks, such as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The effectiveness of governments in upholding peace and social order, as well as in the fields of taxation, legal institutions, and delivery of public services, strongly correlates with average life satisfaction.
The United Nations invites each person of any age, plus every classroom, business, and government, to join in the celebration of the International Day of Happiness.
The 2024 World Happiness Report will be launched today, Wednesday, 20 March 2024, at 12:00 PM EDT. Be among the first to read this year’s insights, centered around the theme of happiness for the young, the old, and everyone in between.
