UNESCO Decades

These are the decades declared by UNESCO, as they refer to issues that fall within the scope of the Organization's competencies.

These are the international decades observed by UNESCO. The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization, with UNESCO being part of the declaration of the following decades. Usually, these commemorations are proposed by its Member States and established by resolution of the General Conference.
