The regional program of Bioethics and Ethics of Sciences of UNESCO Montevideo, presents the first volume of the Manual of Education in Bioethics made together with the Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). This is the first volume of four volumes in which a large part of the issues that each day are presented with more urgency on our agendas will be addressed. Authors from the Latin American and Caribbean region have assumed this responsibility at the hands of the Latin American and Caribbean Network on Bioethics Education, created by UNESCO.

As the world approaches 100 million cases of COVID-19 and surpasses 2 million deaths from the coronavirus worldwide, the Knight Center at the University of Texas at Austin and UNESCO are announcing a free of charge on online training initiative to combat the other disease that is further aggravating the pandemic: the “disinfodemic”. The MOOC (massive open online course) will be taught in Spanish, Portuguese and Guaraní from 15th February to 14th March 2021 on the Knight Center’s online learning platform. REGISTRATION HERE

This publication emerged in the context of the course "Water Security and Sustainable Development Goals (WSSD)", an initiative of the Working Group on Water, Education and Culture of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme in Latin America and the Caribbean (IHP-LAC). The aim is to provide learning opportunities and thus promote the development of capacities that are essential for achieving water security and the goals of sustainable development.
