UNESCO was born out of a simple conviction: peace and development
require stronger foundations than those resulting from political and
economic arrangements between states. The Organization’s history,
featured in this publication, is a journey into projects undertaken to
nurture reconciliation and unite people around a common heritage.
The book is the catalogue for an exhibition displayed at UNESCO
Headquarters on the occasion of the Organization’s 75th anniversary.

Lévi-Strauss passed away at the age of 100.
During that century, he accomplished what
few scientists have: a career as an ethnologist
of the Americas, a reputation as a writer
and the role of catalyst for an intellectual
revolution known as ‘Structuralism’.
This publication further explores Lévi-Strauss as a scientist,
philosopher and chronicler through various perspectives
provided by some of today's top experts on his work as well as
through several less known texts by the author himself, once

The 2023 GEM Report addresses the use of technology in education around

help reach disadvantaged learners but also ensure more knowledge
reaches more learners in more engaging and cheaper formats.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the migration of education systems
to remote and digital learning has accelerated the use of digital
technologies in education. In addition to the emergency response,
there is an international trend to explore how AI and data-
based analytics can support learning, learning assessments
and evidence-based policy planning processes.
This trend has two effects. The first is the need for large data sets
drawn from aggregation of learning profiles, micro-behaviours, access
time and online actions, to build patterns and better understand
learning processes, effectiveness and problems. The second is a
change in approach to the concept of privacy and security.
This publication explores early responses from the education sector
to the question of managing data privacy in this era of accelerated

The global crises of biodiversity and cultural diversity are interdependent,
especially so in rivers. While we know that 84% of the freshwater
fauna has disappeared between 1970 and 2014, the loss in cultural
diversity connected to the river and its floodplain (e.g., spiritual linkages,
traditional use forms, adapted architecture, etc.) is as yet unknown.
This book makes a first attempt to deal with biological and cultural
diversities altogether, depicting the bio-cultural diversities, historical
human-river relationships, threats, and practical examples of how
to mitigate the crisis in riverscapes. More than 120 authors present
interdisciplinary studies from river systems all over the world, and
explore overarching issues on river management in the Anthropocene.

Migration, Free Movement and Regional Integration
UNESCO Publishing/UNU-CRIS
978-92-3-100258-8 (English edition – 2017)
25 euros
This book addresses the issue of free movement of people
within regional spaces. This thematic focus is doubly
relevant. On the one hand, migration, as statistics confirm,
will be an ever-important parameter for development.
On the other hand, the worldwide policy trend of regional
integration closely related to the economic liberalization
and the formation of enlarged, integrated markets at the
regional level is operating as an additional stimulus for human
mobility and thus entails a need for further regulation.

What is the word for ‘peace’ in Thai or in Arabic? In Hausa or in Maori? And
how is it written? The answers to these questions confront us to the specific
languages we have learned or will be able to learn – and which help build
our own identity – just as much as to those languages we have no access to.
Writing Peace aims at encouraging readers
from 11 years old to learn about the diversity
of our writing systems through practical
exercises. This is one of the many actions
undertaken by UNESCO to promote tolerance
and the rapprochement of cultures.

Projections indicate that glaciers in one-third of World Heritage
glacierized sites will disappear by 2050 regardless of the applied
climate scenario and glaciers in around half of all sites could almost
entirely disappear by 2100 in a business-as-usual emissions scenario.
If emissions are drastically cut to limit global warming to
1.5°C, glaciers in two-thirds of the sites could be saved. At
site level, adaptative measures need to be strengthened to
respond to inevitable glacier changes in the near future.

has quantified the climate benefits
of World Heritage forests for the
first time, assessed the impacts on
carbon of common threats to World

and sustainable peace. In the same vein,
living heritage provides communities
with a sense of identity and nourishes
cultural diversity and human creativity.
