At the 4th #BiennaleLuanda in Angola, I joined African leaders and partners to reaffirm our shared commitment to building lasting peace across the continent.
This year’s focus on water governance reminds us that shared resources must bring countries together, not divide them.
ences, intercultural dialogue and water diplomacy, @UNESCO works alongside African countries to prevent conflict, strengthen cooperation and build more resilient societies.
Together with Angola, the African Union and our partners, we must turn our commitments into concrete action for peace and prosperity across Africa.

What if a single water sample could tell us which species live in the ocean? 🌊
Marine organisms leave tiny traces of DNA in the water. By collecting and analysing these traces, scientists can detect which species are present without ever seeing them.
With eDNA Expeditions inging this approach to 25 marine sites around the world, helping local communities better understand and protect their waters.
🤝 Powered by OBIS of @IocUnesco, supported by @minderoo and @wilderlabnz and endorsed by the @UNOceanDecade, this project connects marine sites, local teams, citizens and experts in a shared effort to amplify marine life observations.
