WHAT IS IT

United Nations is an international organization. Its aim is to preserve

international peace and security. It comprises of 193 member states and its work
reaches every corner of the globe. Philippines is one of the 51 countries who
founded the organization in the year 1945.
The main purposes of UN are the following (UN70):
 To keep peace throughout the world;
 To develop friendly relations among nations;
 To help nations work together to improve the lives of poor people, to conquer
hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s
rights and freedoms; and
 To be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals.

United Nations Millennium Developmental Goals 2015 Report

 The eight (8) millennium developmental goals (MDG) for 2000 - 2015 are
anchored in the above mentioned purposes. As we are now in the year 2020, results
of MGD 2015 are out. Below are the data.

Goal 1 Goal 2

Goal 3 Goal 4

5
 Goal 5 Goal 6

Goal 7 Goal 8

(All figures are from the MGD Report 2015)

The figures depict promising results comparing from year 1990 to 2015. As
the environment changes over years, goals must be bigger as well. Thus, the target

6
now is to switch from MGD to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2015 -
2030. This has broader coverage than MGD. SDG aims to create a foundation for a
sustainable future. To do this, UN member states have reestablished another
agenda which they titled, Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development. Below are its agenda plan.
Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Preamble
This agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks
to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize that eradicating
poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest
global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will
implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of
poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the
bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world into a
sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge
that no one will be left behind.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets demonstrate the
scale and ambition of this new universal agenda. They seek to build on the
Millennium Development Goals and complete what they did not achieve. They seek
to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the
empowerment of all women. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the
three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and
environmental.
The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next 15 years in areas of
critical importance for humanity and the planet.
People
We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and
dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity
and equality and in a healthy environment.
Planet
We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through
sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources
and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the
present and future generations.

Prosperity

7
 We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and
fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in
harmony with nature.
Peace
We are determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are
free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace
and no peace without sustainable development.
Partnership
We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this agenda
through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a
spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the
poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all
stakeholders and all people.
The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development
Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring and realizing the purpose of the new
agenda. If we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the agenda, the lives of
all will be profoundly improved and our world will be transformed for the better.
(United Nations 2015)
Importance of Solidarity
No matter how beautiful your plans are, if you are not willing to pursue it, it will
never come to life. United Nations became successful in carrying out their purpose
because of collaboration. Member states are united in executing plans and they are
expected to sustain their unity for the benefit of all.
The above statement signifies solidarity. However, the term solidarity is more
than just merely working together. It is the acceptance of our social nature and the
affirmation of the bonds we share with all our brothers and sisters (Quizlet 2020).
Solidarity is more than unions
Union is the act of uniting people to achieve a common goal. It is formed
when people have the same interest and they need to gather up in order to help
them pursue their goal. Solidarity is unity regardless of interest. It implies necessity
for everybody to unite for survival.
Solidarity is defying boundaries
Race, gender, wealth do not define inclusion. Everybody has equal opportunity for
almost everything. Active involvement for a cause is the heart of solidarity.

Solidarity is from communication to action

Communication is vital in delivering and receiving message. However, this
does not limit only to language because involvement sends its message through
action. Results of action done in unity is the true meaning of solidarity.
