"Neopaganism celebrates Yule from its Germanic roots, but understands that the events during Yuletide set the stage for the New Year. Though divination practices are ever-present, Yule is not as much about predicting what’s to come as how everything that happens during yuletide (this year, from 21 December until 1 January) actively contributes to what will happen—the excessive eating, drinking, and merriment usher in the same energy and literal things in the coming year.

"The Sustainable Development Agenda is centred on people & planet, underpinned by human rights and supported by a global partnership determined to lift people out of poverty, hunger and disease. It will, thus, be built on a foundation of global cooperation and solidarity. Solidarity is identified in the Millennium Declaration as one of the fundamental values of international relations in the 21st Century, wherein those, who either suffer or benefit least deserve help from those who benefit most. Consequently, in the context of globalization and the challenge of growing inequality, strengthening of international solidarity is indispensable. Through initiatives such as the establishment of the World Solidarity Fund to eradicate poverty and the proclamation of International Human Solidarity Day, the concept of solidarity was promoted as crucial in the fight against poverty and in the involvement of all relevant stakeholders.
