As governments prepare for the first global review of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework at #COP17, UNESCO brings a concrete network of more than 2,200 sites hosting 900 million people, showing that commitments can become action. 👉 Discover UNESCO at #COP17Armenia:

Human dignity must remain at the heart of our digital future. During his address at UNESCO, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, calling for technology to remain at the service of people and for greater protection of children and young people in the digital age. While artificial intelligence can process and correlate vast amounts of information, it cannot provide meaning or trust. In the words of Pope Leo XIV , “Meaning is the oxygen of the mind.” His message ultimately went beyond technology: trust, dialogue and education are essential to overcoming divisions, strengthening our common humanity and building lasting peace. ▶️ Watch highlights from Pope Leo XIV’s address at UNESCO.
