International Family Day 2025, observed globally on May 15, shines a spotlight on the vital role families play in fostering sustainable development. This year’s theme, “Family-Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development: Towards the Second World Summit for Social Development”, emphasizes the need for policies that empower families to address global challenges like climate change, technological transformation, and demographic shifts.
As we mark the 31st anniversary of this United Nations-initiated observance, the focus is on creating resilient family units that contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The United Nations will host a key event at its New York headquarters, featuring discussions on family-focused policies and their impact on sustainable progress. Experts and civil society representatives will share insights from national and regional initiatives, highlighting best practices in family policymaking.
The event, livestreamed on UN WebTV from 1:15 to 2:30 PM EST, aligns with preparations for the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar, from November 4-6, 2025.
Businesses and communities are encouraged to adopt family-friendly practices, from flexible work policies to sustainable living campaigns, to support families as the backbone of society. Social media campaigns, like those promoted by the Postive Festival Poster Maker App, are gaining traction, enabling users to create vibrant digital posters to celebrate family bonds.
Let’s unite to cherish and empower families, fostering love, unity, and sustainability. Share your family moments and join the global conversation!
