World Oceans Day
The plastic foam that floats on the ocean surface, even miles away from the coast is just one indicator of the poor health of the marine environment. In study after study, the diagnosis is clear: the ocean is becoming warmer, more depleted, and more acidic. Today, the question is no longer whether these phenomena are causing major upheavals, but rather, at what rate these will occur.
Today, as we celebrate World Oceans Day, dive into our issue: The Ocean, time to turn the tide.
Cafés: a rich blend of cultures
April-June 2023
What is a café if not four walls and a roof impregnated with the aroma of roasting, along with a few cups, saucers, and small spoons lying around on a zinc counter or tabletop?

Silk, a luxury good highly valued in imperial Rome, has given its name to legendary routes where historical and cultural dialogues have been woven for two millennia between East and West.
The UNESCO Courier dedicates a special edition to the Silk Roads on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the The Silk Roads Programme.
