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.

    PHL won't accept WTO fisheries deal without an 'IUUF' provision
    Arcalas, Jasper Emmanuel Y. (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2020-12-27)
    Manila maintains its stance to refuse supporting any fisheries subsidies deal at the World Trade Organization (WTO) that excludes a provision on “illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, or IUUF, infringements” in disputed waters. The Philippines had earlier proposed a new mechanism that would allow WTO member-countries to determine IUUF infringements in waters being claimed by two or more nations. But several countries, including China, which claims jurisdiction over the West Philippine Sea, opposed the proposal. Beijing argues that IUUF determination in disputed waters is not within the purview of the WTO.
