UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), established in 1945, aims to promote peace and international cooperation using the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework. It strives to encourage global cooperation in the areas of communication, culture, science, and education. As a well-known international agency, it is crucial in protecting and maintaining cultural property, including both tangible and intangible assets, buildings, objects, customs, languages, and cultural expressions. As a major international forum, UNESCO organized the first intergovernmental conference on sustainable development in 1968, resulting in the creation of its Man and the Biosphere program. UNESCO is actively engaged with events and activities supporting its programmatic work around the world, with a focus on education, climate change, and cultural heritage protections. Through the collaborative efforts of all member states, UNESCO is working toward a more intellectual and peaceful future.
