Information Booster:
· United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO): Focuses on global education, cultural preservation, and scientific cooperation, but not specifically on naming chemical elements.
· International Science Council (ISC): An international organization promoting science as a global public good, but it does not specialize in the nomenclature of chemical elements.
· International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG): Specializes in the study of Earth and its environment in space, focusing on geophysics and geodesy, not chemical nomenclature.
