Historical background and United Nations relations

The United Nations World Academy of Ecological Sciences was initiated in the 2020s under the joint framework of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Secretariat. The first academicians were composed of top ecological scientists from 23 countries.
The organization follows the United Nations Charter and is guided by the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Its achievements are widely applied to various sustainable development agendas within the United Nations system.

The Earth is not our property, but our responsibility

We firmly believe that science is not only about explaining the world, but also a tool for repairing it. Ecology is a civilization, a consensus for the future.
All research and actions of UNWAES revolve around the three philosophical concepts of "harmonious coexistence, technological leadership, and just development".
