Background
Since 1972 IUCN has been the official advisor on nature to the World Heritage Convention. In that role, the IUCN World Heritage Team coordinates the evaluation of nominations for new sites, the monitoring of existing sites, training for protected area managers, as well as policy advice to UNESCO, the World Heritage Committee and States Parties.
In 2023 IUCN adopted a new Union-wide strategy which focuses on supporting the World Heritage Convention to make the greatest conservation impact to 2030 and beyond. The IUCN World Heritage Strategy will be implemented by engaging the whole IUCN Union, including the key contributions of IUCN Members and IUCN Commissions, via new and enhanced global IUCN initiatives on World Heritage, and a series of new regional World Heritage affirmative action plans, coordinated via IUCN’s network of regional and country offices.
