Social and Human Sciences
Building inclusive and sustainable economies and societies
In a complex world confronted with major societal transitions (climate, digital, demographics, inequalities), UNESCO’s Social and Human Sciences Sector leverages the contributions that these sciences can make to build inclusive and sustainable economies and societies.
This is done through the management of social transformations and strengthening the science-policy nexus, the ethical governance of emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. The Sector also addresses racism and discrimination, forges intercultural dialogue, empowers youth and women, and deploys the ethical and social impact of sports.
