UNESCO Cousteau Ecotechnie Chair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The UNESCO Cousteau Ecotechnie Programme is an international initiative of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization to promote interdisciplinary education, research and policy-making in the field of the environment and development.

UCEP's mission is to reduce barriers to change through new incentives and by providing future decision- and policy-makers with integrated, multidisciplinary education, training and research. It is a joint effort of the Man and the Biosphere Programme and the Cousteau Society.

Among its main activities is the designation of UNESCO-Cousteau Ecotechnie Chairs at universities and research institutions around the world.
