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.

    Dematera, Cet; Amo, Celso (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2013-08-04)
    The country's first underwater solar-powered and coral-beaded rosary was installed in Albay Gulf yesterday. Dubbed as "Coral Genesis," the 60 coral beads with attached solar panels, bulbs and a concrete crucifix forming a 65-meter rosary was installed 25 feet deep in the coastal waters of Sto. Domingo town in Albay. Martin Reynoso, chairman of Jaycees Legazpi chapter which sponsored the project, said the giant coral rosary automatically lights up at night.
