UNESCO Cultural Heritage List

Home: UNESCO Culture Sector: "World Heritage


Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets to decide on additions to the World Heritage List, which includes the most outstanding cultural and natural sites around the globe. Inscription on this List is just the first step towards safeguarding these sites: management and preservation are ongoing processes, involving local communities as well as national authorities. So far, 183 countries have demonstrated their commitment to protecting our shared heritage by ratifying the World Heritage Convention.
