INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS!
It’s a day to be happy! Happiness is a fundamental human goal. The United States Nations General Assembly recognizes this goal and calls for “a more inclusive 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 lend support human rights and incorporating well-being and environmental dimensions into policy frameworks, such as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 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 celebration of the International Day of Happiness.
