Heritage Institute of Training and Research for the Asia and the Pacific Region WMO World Meteorological Organisation WTO World Tourism Organisation iii Foreword There is no peace without tackling social justice, eliminating poverty and managing natural resources in a sustainable way. Guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, UNESCO contributes to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, and sustainable development through strengthening education, the sciences, culture, communication and information. In the Pacific, countries and territories have long held a vision of cooperation and integration to achieve more together than they can do separately. That is why partnership is a core component of the UNESCO Pacific Strategy 2018–2022, and it is being integrated into every facet of our work, building on decades of experience in the Pacific and expertise of the Organization. UNESCO will focus its work on three fronts within the broader context of the 2030 Agenda and the SAMOA Pathway, an action framework to support the ocean states towards sustainability. First, investing in people to build institutional and technical capacities. This will be done through the promotion of learning, awareness-raising, training and advice for national ownership, empowerment and strengthening of local and subregional value chains in the fields of education, culture, natural and social sciences, and communication and information. Second, to strengthen resilience to disaster, including climate change, and protect the natural environment through sustainable use of resources. This will be done through research projects and technical advice, including coordination of the Pacific Tsunami Warning System, to support communities to be better prepared in the face of disasters and climate change risks. And third, to sustain livelihoods by creating avenues for new enterprises in synergy with protecting the region’s natural and cultural heritage. Technical advice, projects and programmes that support livelihoods-focused actions will promote economic well-being as well as protect cultural, social and ecological systems. This Strategy translates UNESCO’s core mandate into action priorities at the regional, national and local levels. It also brings attention to the needs of those who are most vulnerable due to social and cultural exclusion, lack of capacity and education, limited access to communication, and other factors. It is my honour to thank the UNESCO National Commissions, Pacific Island Member States and the United Nations system in the Pacific, in particular,
