As the only United Nations agency with a specific mandate for science, UNESCO works to advance and promote science in the interests of peace, sustainable development, and human security and well-being. The organisation has acted as a catalyst for the establishment of many scientific unions and bodies in both Social and Human and Natural sciences.
Our work, and that of the UNESCO in the UK network, has a significant positive impact on the government(s) commitment to fulfilling UNESCO’s action on science globally. The UK is home to many science-related UNESCO initiatives, and our world-leading experts continue to shape, and have impact through, UNESCO’s global programmes.
