The Sustainable Development Agenda emphasizes global cooperation to lift people out of poverty, hunger, and disease. International Human Solidarity Day celebrates unity in diversity, reminds governments of their commitments, raises awareness of solidarity, promotes debate on achieving Sustainable Development Goals, and encourages new initiatives for poverty eradication. Solidarity, a key value in international relations, is essential in tackling global inequality. The UN General Assembly proclaimed December 20 as International Human Solidarity Day and established the World Solidarity Fund to combat poverty and promote development.
