World Heritage

WWF análisis 2017 a un abanico de opciones para seguir mejorando las sinergias tangibles entre la Convención sobre el Comercio Internacional de Especies Amenazadas de Fauna y Flora Silvestres (CITES) y la Convención de Patrimonio Mundial, enfocado alrededor de los sitios Patrimonio Mundial.

The WWF 2017 report "Not for Sale" gives a range of options to further enhance tangible synergies between the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the World Heritage Convention, focussed around World Heritage sites. 

The 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention unites nations behind a shared commitment to preserve the world’s outstanding cultural and natural heritage for the benefit of present and future generations. This report presents the results of a scientific assessment of globally significant ecosystems in the Arctic Ocean that may be of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) with respect to the natural criteria for World Heritage status.

The manual provides guidance for States Parties and all those involved in the care of World Heritage cultural properties on how to comply with the requirements of the Convention. It also aims to help States Parties to ensure that heritage has a dynamic role in society and harnesses, but also delivers to others, the mutual benefits that such a role can create. This Manual deals only with the management of cultural heritage sites.

Culture can be a close ally to gender equality. This report aims to consolidate leading research, statistics and case studies in the field of culture and gender equality, focusing in particular on creativity and heritage, as a contribution to international debates on the post-2015 agenda. It aims to benchmark progress to date and proposes recommendations for governments, decision-makers, the international community and civil society.

An Internationally Designated Area (IDA) is a natural area internationally recognised by a global or regional designation mechanism. Among these, there are 263 areas where different IDAs fully or partially overlap thus carrying double, triple or even quadruple international designations.

Crisis has enveloped the more than 200,000 nationally and regionally protected natural and cultural heritage sites around the world.

Un Área de Designación Internacional (ADI) es un área natural reconocida internacionalmente por un mecanismo de designación global o regional. De todos éstos, 263 son áreas con diferentes ADI solapadas total o parcialmente, con lo que tienen designaciones internacionales dobles, triples o incluso cuádruples. Estas áreas se denominan Áreas de Designación Internacional Múltiple (ADIM) a efectos de la presente publicación.
