UNESCO World Heritage sites as global observatories On 5 December, the UNESCO Pavilion hosted an event on the theme of ‘UNESCO Sites, A Climate Change Observatory’. The aim was to explore how the UNESCO-designated World Heritage sites, Biosphere Reserves and Global Geoparks can serve as world field observatories. These are special places where climate knowledge can be gathered and solutions found to address the impacts of climate change on human societies and cultural diversity, biodiversity and ecosystem services, and the world’s natural and cultural heritage. Practitioners from UNESCO sites, researchers, experts and policy-makers shared their experiences through interviews and round-table discussions. 132 Issue no. 77 of the UNESCO World Heritage Review, published in October 2015, explains how today, as the planet finds itself confronted with the impact of climate change, the existence of the World Heritage network is proving to be of the highest importance in monitoring changing conditions and advancing solutions on the ground.
UNESCO-designated World Heritage sites, Biosphere Reserves and Global Geoparks can serve as world field observatories to gather climate knowledge and find solutions to the impacts of climate change on human societies.
