UNESCO's emergency response

UNESCO's response to global emergencies: support, recovery, and resilience.

UNESCO supports crisis response in regions impacted by armed conflicts and disasters caused by natural hazards. We support countries to ensure access to quality education, and safeguard cultural heritage and reconstruction. We deliver direct aid to communities and contribute to recovery and development efforts. 

We believe that education, culture, communication, and science have the transformative power to build lasting peace and reconciliation.
