Science for fairer and more inclusive Mexican societies

UNESCO contributes with its allies in Mexico to develop projects and strategies such as the evaluation and review of local public policies, and the systematization of programs for social change, which impact communities and groups in situations of vulnerability.

We develop forums and meetings to promote discussion and response to the global commitment to fight racism and all kinds of discrimination in one of the countries with the greatest ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity in Latin America. From UNESCO in Mexico, we design and promote local or national good practices that help to dismantle the structural roots and social bases of social exclusion in all areas of daily life, with the support of allies and collaborators from the public and private sectors.

UNESCO has tools and collaboration networks to evidence contributions of physical education and sport to health, the promotion of universal values and a wide variety of results for sustainable development, as well as to identify needs and the gaps that exist to increase investment and make visible the impact of sport in improving the quality of life of Mexican communities and youth. In Mexico, the Social and Human Sciences Sector implements strategies such as Fit for Life, in collaboration with national allies.

In November 2021, the 193 Member States of UNESCO adopted the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, the first global regulatory framework on the subject to build a solid respect for the Rule of Law and Human Rights in technological developments and digital world. UNESCO in Mexico promotes and guides the implementation of this Recommendation through different tools for the authorities, different organizations, the academic sector, the private sector, and civil society so that they participate in its adaptation based on the needs and interests of the country.
