history

With the International Day of Happiness, the UN wants to show appreciation to states that measure prosperity in a way that goes beyond material prosperity.

In July 2011, at the urging of Bhutan , the UN General Assembly passed resolution 65/309 entitled "Happiness: Towards a Holistic Concept for Development".

At the invitation of Bhutan, a meeting of high-level representatives from 68 nations took place on April 2, 2012 with the title "Happiness and Wellbeing: Defining a New Economic Paradigm".

“We need a new paradigm for the economy that takes into account the equality of the three pillars of sustainability. Well-being in terms of social, economic and environmental issues cannot be separated. Together they define global gross happiness. "

- Ban Ki-moon , UN Secretary General

On June 28, 2012, Ban Ki-moon referred to this high-level meeting when presenting his motion for a resolution on World Happy Day. On the same day, World Happy Day was passed as UN resolution 66/281.

The German Foreign Ministry described the World Happy Day as "initiated by Bhutan". Other sources also say that the initiative for World Happy Day came from Bhutan or that World Happy Day was proclaimed on Bhutan's proposal .
