On this international day this year, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon gave the message “Happiness is more than personal satisfaction”.

In line with this message, the United Nations this year celebrated the International Day of Happiness (March 20) in a special way. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon “appointed” Red, the leader of the birds in the mobile game Angry Birds, as an Honorary Ambassador to promote and promote climate action towards a more sustainable and happier future for all.

International Day of Happiness.

The theme that the United Nations focuses on this year's International Day of Happiness is measures to reduce climate change. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that this is an opportunity to bring peace, prosperity and joy to everyone rather than focusing on the happiness of each individual.

According to him, by calling for “collective responsibility” towards completing the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, humanity will together spread joy and foster world peace.

For that purpose, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon chose Angry Birds, an entertaining game loved by millions of people around the world, to convey a message of making the world a better place.

Speaking at the launch of the film about Red, the leader of the Angry Birds, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, Mr. Ban Ki-moon emphasized that the United Nations is proud to create an opportunity for the leader of the Angry Birds Red, meaning red, to turn into Green, meaning green.

“I am delighted to appoint Red as an honorary ambassador for the colour green,” said Mr. Ban. “Together, let’s create a more peaceful, sustainable and healthy future for all.”

The Angry Birds crew is extremely proud of their new mission.

Angry Birds voice actor Josh Gad said: “Throughout the movie, the idea of ​​anger is a bad thing, something negative, but it evolves into a passion. If you are angry for a good reason, like how to build a green world, then I think the message of the movie can make you really change and make something good out of that anger.”

International Day of Happiness Ambassador Red will embark on a “world tour” starting tomorrow to promote ways to protect the environment. The trip will take Red to Paris, where countries adopted a historic climate change agreement in December 2015, and will end in New York, where world leaders will sign the Paris Agreement at the United Nations headquarters on April 22./.
