The Sustainable Development Agenda is centred on people & planet, underpinned by human rights and supported by a global partnership determined to lift people out of poverty, hunger and disease. It will, thus, be built on a foundation of global cooperation and solidarity.

International Human Solidarity Day is:

• A day to celebrate our unity in diversity

• A day to remind governments to respect their commitments to international agreements

• A day to raise public awareness of the importance of solidarity

• A day to encourage debate on the ways to promote solidarity for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals including poverty eradication

• A day to encourage new initiatives for poverty eradication.
