The research system of the United Nations World Academy of Ecological Sciences

The UNWAES research divisions form a comprehensive system aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), spanning from micro-level cellular ecology to global-scale sustainability transitions.

Six major research directions

We take six cutting-edge directions as pillars to build a community of life between humanity and the earth, and jointly move towards a beautiful future of intelligent ecology.

New Energy Sciences

Research focus: hydrogen energy, solar energy, nuclear fusion, biomass energy

Promote the green transformation of global energy structure and achieve carbon neutrality goals.

Cellular & Frontier Medicine

Research focus: Cell health, regenerative medicine, anti-aging, disease ecology

Dr. Zhang Hongkai is a leading figure in the field of cell medicine

Eco-Agriculture & Food Security

Research focus: Sustainable planting, climate smart agriculture, biopesticides

Jointly conduct experiments with agricultural research institutions in Africa and Asia

Ocean Ecology & Blue Economy

Research focus: Coral restoration, plastic pollution control, and fishery regeneration

The United Nations Environment Programme promotes the 'Blue Earth' initiative

Green Urban Transition

Research focus: Smart city design, urban heat island governance, low-carbon buildings

Cross disciplinary architects and climate scientists jointly develop green city models

AI & Ecological Intelligence

Artificial intelligence ecological monitoring system, ecological disaster prediction

Building a Global Data Platform for 'Earth Smart Map'

International scientific research cooperation platform

The College has established cooperation mechanisms with universities, research centers and laboratories in more than 50 countries to jointly promote major ecological research projects, including:

  • United Nations Future Earth Programme
  • GreenNet: Global Ecological Big Data Platform
  • Eco-Youth Incubator
