Partnerships

World Heritage partnerships for conservation

Ensuring that World Heritage sites sustain their outstanding universal value is an increasingly challenging mission in today’s complex world, where sites are vulnerable to the effects of uncontrolled urban development, unsustainable tourism practices, neglect, natural calamities, pollution, political instability, and conflict.

World Heritage preservation costs money and takes collective effort. The World Heritage Centre welcomes assistance in many different forms to carry out this important work.

Since 2002, the World Heritage Partnerships for Conservation Initiative (PACT) has helped raise awareness, mobilize funds, and implement activities through creative and innovative partnerships.

Our Partners

The World Heritage Centre has established successful partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders, governments, civil society and the private sector. These alliances reflect a commitment to long-term management of World Heritage sites.
