The UN has adopted a resolution on the social and solidarity economy. Here's why it matters
The UN resolution calls on member states to promote the social economy, but more is needed in terms of public support and private funding and partnerships.
The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 after the Second World War by 51 countries committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights. The organization takes action on a wide range of issues and provides a forum for its 193 Member States to express their views through the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and other bodies and committees.
