UNESCO protects the diversity of life on land and ocean and promotes science and local knowledge to help to find solutions to today’s acute economic, social and environmental challenges. Below are some examples of partnerships and programmes which support this strategic objective:

was launched in 2021 and convenes global partners to co-design and co-deliver ocean knowledge to reverse the cycle of decline in ocean health and gather ocean stakeholders worldwide behind a common framework that will ensure ocean science can fully support countries in creating improved conditions for sustainable management of the ocean.

Greening Education Partnership aims to deliver strong, coordinated and comprehensive action that will prepare every learner to acquire the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to tackle climate change and to promote sustainable development.

Officially launched during COP25 in December 2019, was created with a view to supporting and facilitating youth-led climate action to reach its full potential and impact, by building on existing relevant youth action in the areas of UNESCO’s field of competence.

UNESCO and the Fondation L’Oréal seek to support young women scientists and recognise accomplished female researchers who, through the scope of their work, have contributed to overcoming today's global challenges.

promotes intergenerational transmission of local and indigenous knowledge (ILK) as well as improved methodologies for scientists to understanding and work with holders of Indigenous and local knowledge. LINKS concentrates on ILK related to climate change, biodiversity and ecosystems. 

is the first international forum to unite eminent women scientists from the developing and developed worlds with the objective of strengthening their role in the development process and promoting their representation in scientific and technological leadership.

UNESCO is acting across the board, in advocating for risk awareness, prevention, and preparedness and build back better, in fostering learning and in building capacity. Operating at the interface between the natural and social sciences, education, culture and communication, UNESCO seeks to strengthen the resilience of societies.

IHP is the only intergovernmental cooperation programme of the UN system dedicated to water research and management, and related education and capacity development. IHP operates through a large network of governmental, academic, scientific and institutional partners, the UNESCO Water Family. 

The WWAP's overall objective is “to meet the growing requirements of UN Member States and the international community for a wider range of policy-relevant information in fields of water resources developments and management, in particular through the production of the United Nations World Water Development Report (UN WWDR)”.

This network mobilizes experts from across the spectrum of environmental knowledge, to help countries and communities achieve their biodiversity goals.

Open science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make science and its benefits more accessible, transparent, inclusive and equitable.  The brings together relevant and interested open science actors across the world to assist UNESCO in making open science a reality across the world.

Man and Biosphere Programme

The UNESCO World Heritage Convention protects 266 of the most outstanding natural places in the world. Although these sites cover less than 1% of the surface of the earth, they harbor 20% of all mapped living species on earth, including almost half of all threatened mammals and birds. sites are also providing important ecosystem services, including storing 13 billion tonnes of carbon.  

The UNESCO Global Geopark label was created in 2015. It recognizes geological heritage of international significance. Geoparks serve local communities by combining the conservation of their significant geological heritage with public outreach and a sustainable approach to development.  There are currently 195 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 48 countries.
