The
Natural Sciences Major Programme of UNESCO, as it was defined
by the 32th General Conference, in October 2003, is structured
in two programmes :
-
Science, environment and sustainable development,
aimed to improve human security through a better management
of the environment;
-
Capacity-building in science and technology for development,
that seeks to enhance human and institutional capacities
in science and technology to allow the widest possible participation
in the knowledge society, and to adapt science policy to
societal needs.
