World Heritage capacity building

World Heritage advisory bodies -IUCN, ICOMOS and ICCROM-  have been working together since 2010 to strengthen links between cultural and natural heritage under the World Heritage Convention. Discover the wealth of learning material from past newsletters.

A series of workshops were held to enhance international and regional capacity on heritage conservation. The purpose was to:

  • Update and inform cultural and natural heritage professionals on Advisory Body activities and processes supporting the implementation of the World Heritage Convention;
  • Build and enhance the capacity of professionals and strengthen the technical networks of the Advisory Bodies, to support the identification, evaluation and conservation of World Heritage sites;
  • Enhance communication and collaboration between cultural and natural heritage professionals within Advisory Body networks, to support a more effective implementation of the World Heritage Convention.
