Widely consulted by law‑enforcement authorities, art‑market professionals, academics and policy makers, the CultNatlaws Database is an essential reference for determining the legality of cultural property exports, imports and ownership transfers - and, therefore, a critical tool in the fight against illicit trafficking. yt:video:SVi84k059Ss SVi84k059Ss UCkD7gm3Am3M3k156lk46t3A UNESCO https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkD7gm3Am3M3k156lk46t3A 2025-11-28T13:38:51+00:00 2025-11-28T13:59:07+00:00 Science fiction for turbulent times - future histories to inspire alterative policy thinking Kim Stanley Robinson, an award-winning science fiction writer best known for the Mars Trilogy and Ministry of the Future, explores how science fiction shapes science representations in society and argues that understanding “totality” is essential in turbulent times. He explains how speculative futures are one of the few spaces to create cognitive maps to make sense of the complexity of global systems shaped by widening inequality and climate pressures. Robinson stresses that science fiction is not a prediction but constructs plausible future histories that allow us to contemplate what could happen, what we want to avoid, and what better trajectories look like. He argues that fiction can model stepwise transitions - not as policy prescriptions, but as narrative explorations of what social and economic alternatives might entail.  Find out more in his conversation with Clare Stark.

After water supply systems were damaged as a result of the war, UNESCO, with financial support from the Government of France, organized water quality testing in about one-third of Mykolaiv’s educational institutions. The analyses help schools and preschools respond promptly to the results and ensure a safe environment for in-person learning. The initiative is implemented under the “Water for Human Settlements” theme of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP).

Yet, they can be vulnerable to the very disruptions they are relied upon to report. The Model Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan for Media Institutions is designed to empower every media institution, large or small, public or private, to develop or improve its own disaster preparedness and response plan. As the first comprehensive blueprint of its kind, developed with global expertise, it helps the media become institutionally prepared to cope with emergencies and better contribute to strengthening community resilience through their work.

Після пошкодження систем водопостачання внаслідок війни ЮНЕСКО за фінансової підтримки Уряду Франції організувало тестування  якості води у близько третині закладів освіти Миколаєва. Аналізи допомагають закладам оперативно реагувати на результати та забезпечувати дітям безпечне середовище для очного навчання. Ініціатива реалізується в межах теми «Вода для поселень людей» Міжурядової гідрологічної програми ЮНЕСКО (IHP). https://www.unesco.org/uk/ukraine-war yt:video:LL3LKYbGvGI LL3LKYbGvGI UCkD7gm3Am3M3k156lk46t3A UNESCO https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkD7gm3Am3M3k156lk46t3A 2025-11-20T11:57:44+00:00 2025-11-20T11:57:44+00:00 Laureates of the 2025 UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development The 2025 UNESCO–Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) recognizes three outstanding projects from Benin, Brazil and Panama for their innovative, inclusive, and transformative approaches to education for sustainable development. Funded by the Government of Japan, the Prize honours exceptional projects and programmes undertaken by institutions, organizations or other entities in the field of ESD. The three laureates were selected from 120 nominations submitted by UNESCO Member States and organizations in official partnership with UNESCO. An independent international jury of five ESD experts recognized the three initiatives for their excellence in advancing sustainability through education and community engagement.

Data from ocean observations reveal what is happening beneath, on, and above the ocean. They underpin our ability to predict, manage, and adapt to changes in the marine environment. Today, more than 80 countries contribute to global ocean observing networks, operating thousands of platforms that “see the sea”, capturing more than 120,000 observations each day. Since 1991, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC), through the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), has led this global community, enabling countries to observe the ocean in a coordinated, sustained, and globally integrated way to deliver critical information on the ocean’s physical, chemical, and biological conditions. Building on these efforts, endorsed Decade Actions are generating and using ocean data to better predict and adapt to the impacts of climate change – from fish biodiversity to extreme weather events.

I'm also ready to share this knowledge with my colleagues in Madagascar." Fluorida Razafimanirisoa, a student at the Institut Halieutique et des Sciences Marines of the University of Toliara in Madagascar, attended the first-ever Coastal Ocean Environment School in Western Indian Ocean (COES-WIO) in September in Mombasa, Kenya. From fieldwork, laboratory analysis, data interpretation, and presentations, COES-WIO delivered a hands-on learning experience in ocean science. Happening in the framework of the #OceanDecade and hosted by the Technical University of Mombasa (TUM), Pwani University and Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Government of Flanders, University of Michigan, Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association and ECOP Africa, this 7-day training provided 75 early-career ocean professionals from across the Western Indian Ocean region with an opportunity to hone their practical skills while connecting with experts and building networks with fellow ocean scientists. The Ocean Decade Capacity Development Facility and the OceanTeacher Global Academy provided additional support to enable early-career ocean professionals, or #ECOPs, to attend this training, with a focus on ecological survey techniques and data management. In this video, Fluorida tells us what she gained from this training, how it helped her grow as a young ocean scientists, and how she will share what she learnt with her colleagues in Madagascar.
