In creating a culture of peace and addressing sustainable development challenges, UNESCO aims to cultivate the generation and application of scientific knowledge among its Member States. At UNACOM, we facilitate access to UNESCO’s international programmes in the sciences, such as the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, and International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP), among others.

Through this sector, the Commission aims to contribute to the following SDGs: 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, 13 - Climate Action, 14 - Life Below Water, and 15 - Life On Land. With the overarching vision of the 2023-2028 Philippine Development Plan (PDP), UNACOM targets grassroots-inspired cultural heritage and biodiversity protection and conservation, as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships for SDGs promotion.

    Fishers group urges boycott of imported galunggong
    Cervantes, Ding (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2018-08-27)
    A group of fishermen yesterday vowed to campaign for a nationwide boycott of imported galunggong (round scad), insisting that while the imports are expected to cost less than local harvest, they are a health hazard. “We urge local vendors, consumers and fishers not to patronize the imported products as they are health hazards and are surely of poor quality. Instead, we will promote locally caught marine and aquatic products, which are not only good in quality but will also help boost the local fishing industry,” said Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya). The group contradicted the claims of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources that galunggong to be imported are “low in formaldehyde.”
