UNESCO welcomes COP15 Biodiversity Agreement
Biodiversity is the living fabric of our planet. It is vital to transform our behaviors and values to halt and reverse its decline. UNESCO seeks to harness the full power of education, science, culture and information to mobilize for the planet and make peace with nature.
Protecting Biodiversity calls for Sharing Humanity
Our Lives depend on biodiversity, and today biodiversity depends on us. To protect, restore and preserve, we must share science, knowledge, best practices and bring out the best of who we are as human beings. This is UNESCO's call for #SharingHumanity.
