2020 will have been a year of unprecedented upheaval —the year of COVID-19. What began as a health crisis, became systemic, with consequences that placed UNESCO at the heart of intersecting efforts to develop urgent responses in support of its Member States.

Read about the Organization’s relentless mobilization this year to reaffirm the primacy of education, science, culture and information by:

  • Setting up a Global Education Coalition to counter the worst educational disruption in history.
  • Issuing a global call for Open Science, international cooperation and universal access to scientific knowledge, which have proven essential to the scientific community’s response against COVID-19.
  • Promoting international campaigns, new research and online debates to foster freedom of information and to combat false or misleading information about COVID-19.
  • Creating the ‘Culture & COVID-19: Impact and Response Tracker’ to regularly update on the consequences of the pandemic on culture and the measures countries have taken in response.
  • Making steady progress with the flagship initiative ‘Revive the Spirit of Mosul’ for the recovery of one of Iraq’s most historically significant cities, and launching an international campaign for Beirut’s educational and cultural reconstruction;
  • Rallying international celebrity advocates to unite against racism and discrimination.
  • Developing the first international standard-setting instrument on the ethics of artificial intelligence.

The examples you will find in this new edition of ‘UNESCO Snapshots’ bear witness to the advancement of a multilateralism that is effective, concrete and at the service of the peoples of the world.
