Each and every one of them has contributed to enriching our common and single humanity. There is unity in our diversity. And there is no alternative to living together in peaceful and inclusive societies. This is Goal 16 of the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development, and that is the raison d’être of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC).
