The United Nations declared March 20 as the International Day of Happiness in July 2012. The main aim was to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that seek to end poverty, reduce inequality, and protect our planet – three key aspects that lead to well-being and happiness. This day marks the significance of these goals in the public policy and emphasises the need to create a more inclusive and equitable community. March 20 as the International Day of Happiness stands as a reminder that happiness is a fundamental human right and goal.
