Today is International Day of Happiness. Established in 2012 by resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, the day recognizes that “the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal.” It also highlights “the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and the well-being of all peoples.”
This year, Grammy Award-winning musician Pharrell Williams has teamed up with the United Nations Foundation “to encourage people to take action to support the UN and to create a happier world for people everywhere.”
