Building peace in the minds of women and men
About us
UNESCO - the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded on 16 November 1945. For this specialized United Nations agency, it is not enough to build classrooms in devastated countries or to publish scientific breakthroughs. Education, Social and Natural Science, Culture and Communication are the means to a far more ambitious goal : to build peace in the minds of women and men.

Bzzzzz. Did you know? Nearly 75% of crops producing fruits and seeds for human use depend on pollinators. Bees play a crucial role in transferring pollen. Without them, our diets would be limited. Ahead of #WorldBeeDay join us in recognising the vital role of bees in our food supply. Sadly, habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change have led to a decline in pollinator populations. Let's #ActNow to protect and conserve these essential species for a sustainable and healthy food supply for generations to come. 🌻🌷🌼 #Pollinators #FoodSecurity #Bees
