global solidarity
Cross-border mutual support
Global solidarity is the principle that people worldwide share common interests and responsibilities that transcend national borders.
It emphasizes collective action on issues affecting humanity as a whole—climate change, poverty, human rights, public health: The pandemic revealed both the need for and the limits of global solidarity.
The term appears frequently in activist and diplomatic contexts, sometimes aspirationally.
