Every year on November 10, the world celebrates the World Science Day for Peace and Development, an initiative of UNESCO that highlights the vital role of science in society and the importance of involving citizens in scientific progress. This day serves as a reminder that science is not just about discovery — it’s about building a better, more peaceful, and sustainable world.
Why We Celebrate World Science Day
Science influences nearly every aspect of modern life — from the food we eat and the energy we use to how we communicate and care for our environment. But beyond innovation, science plays a key role in promoting peace, equality, and development.
By supporting education, fostering dialogue, and advancing technology, science helps bridge divides, solve global challenges, and improve the quality of life for all.
Theme for 2025: “Science for a Resilient and Inclusive Future”
This year’s theme emphasizes the power of science in addressing global issues such as climate change, health crises, poverty, and inequality. It calls on governments, organizations, and individuals to work together to ensure that scientific knowledge benefits everyone — not just a few.
