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.

  • Pacquiao hails PH's fisherfolk
    Ramos-Araneta, Macon (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2017-12-17)
    Senator Manny Pacquiao hailed Saturday the country's fisherfolk for their invaluable contribution to both the local and national economy. He expressed tribute to the fisherfolk during the distribution and simple turn-over ceremony of 55 motorized banca to the beneficiaries at the fish port complex in Gen. Santos City. "We are gathered here today to fulfill our commitment to improve the lot of our people especially those who are in need," Pacquiao said. The 55 motorized bancas turned over to Sarangani and Gensan fisherfolk were part of the 1,000 motorized bancas to be distributed under the auspices of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of the Department of Agriculture.
