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.

    BFAR mulls moratorium on crackdown vs imported fish
    Cariaso, Bella (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2022-12-01)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on Wednesday said it was considering imposing a moratorium on the crackdown of imported frozen fish in wet markets amid criticisms that it was anti-poor. In a radio interview, Nazario Briguer, BFAR Information and Fisherfolk Coordination Unit chief, said he had informed BFAR Officer in Charge Demosthenes Escoto on the developments in the Senate after Senators Raffy Tulfo and Mary Grace Poe questioned the move of the agency to crack down on pampano and salmon starting on Dec. 4, 2022.

    Importation not key to fish shortage-lawmakers to DA
    Fernandez, Butch; Dela Cruz, Jovee Marie (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2022-01-25)
    The closed fishing season should have been suspended by the Duterte administration instead of allowing fish importation by the Department of Agriculture (DA), Senator Cynthia Villar asserted on Monday. Villar, who chairs the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food and Agrarian Reform, questioned the DA’s decision to greenlight the importation of 60,000 metric tons of galunggong (round scad) and other fish varieties at the first quarter of the year.
