Dear Readers,
Happy New Year! We sincerely hope and wish that 2021 will be a much better year for everyone than 2020.
This year is special because it is the 10th anniversary of the 2011 UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL Recommendation). The Recommendation was adopted unanimously by all Member States during the UNESCO General Conference on 10 November 2011. While all Member States (193) have agreed to implement the HUL Recommendation, its adoption does not carry an obligation such as the ratification of a Convention does. This makes it all the more important that this anniversary year becomes a moment to celebrate, reflect on and reinforce the messages of the Recommendation. Reflections are particularly valuable to highlight the Recommendation’s relevance in the current context of rethinking cities with a view to improving well-being, supporting global aspirations of sustainable development, and responding to global challenges such as climate change.
The HUL Recommendation provides a normative approach to protecting all heritage in urban contexts, those inscribed on the World Heritage List as well as the countless ones that are not, from metropolitan centres to small villages. Going beyond a single-monument approach, the HUL Recommendation looks at heritage structures in their larger setting rather than as isolated objects. Such a perspectives views heritage as landscapes rooted in their layers of histories and geographies, made meaningful by cultural values and interactions; embedded in and deeply connected to the natural environment, the local communities and their beliefs and practices, and the wider built environment. The attributes and heritage values develop in and are sustained by the intricate web of interconnections between the built form, the natural environment, and the practices of the local communities so that changes in one, impact the others. Heritage, in this view, is an important component of sustainable development so that urban heritage conservation in historic centres and quarters, demands sustainable socio-economic development in the lives of the local communities to enable their continued stewardship of the heritage in full consideration of the natural environment. As over 90% of the total cases of COVID-19 have been in urban areas, and as cities are responsible for 75% of global CO2 emissions where transport and buildings are the major contributors, the HUL Recommendation approach to managing heritage in urban contexts is important for furthering solutions and strategies for mitigation of and adaptation to Climate Change and pivotal in contributing to a ‘green’ recovery for cities and settlements in the context of the ongoing pandemic.
As we look forward to the new year, in this issue, we reflect on some key highlights of the past year. And as we begin the 10th anniversary year of the HUL Recommendation, please share with us how you plan to mark the anniversary and reinforce its messages. We invite you also to contact us if you would like to contribute and collaborate with the World Heritage Centre and its activities.

The impact of COVID-19 has not spared the creative sector. Artists across the world, most of whom were already working part-time, on an informal basis or under precarious contracts prior to the pandemic, are struggling to make ends meet. Today, we are experiencing a cultural emergency.
This is why UNESCO launched ResiliArt, a global movement joined by cultural professionals worldwide that sheds light on the current state of creative industries through virtual discussions. The devastation brought to the entire culture value chain will have a long-lasting impact on the creative economy; ResiliArt aims to ensure the continuity of conversations, data sharing, and advocacy efforts long after the pandemic subsides. Cultural industry professionals are encouraged to join the movement and replicate the ResiliArt debate sessions in their respective regions and thematic focus by following publicly available guidelines.
Since its launching of the campaign has 233 ResiliArt debates have taken place and 166 countries have on-going ResiliArt movements so far.

The clock is ticking to halt the devastating impact of climate change. Building on its overall Strategy for Climate Action 2018-2021, UNESCO has recently set up a Reflection Group on Culture and Climate Change, which brings together experts from academia, international organisations and civil society to explore concrete ways to enhance the role of cultural and natural heritage, intangible cultural heritage and the creative economy, in tackling climate change. Climate change is a complex issue, standing at the crossroads of science, ethics, society, education and, of course, culture – a dimension that has for too long been under-valued.
The cultural sphere is also a space for dialogue, encompassing diverse worldviews and cultural values, so that societal change can radiate from our museums, cultural centres, cities, schools and traditional communities. Given the urgency of the climate crisis, the need for culture as a vital resource has never been greater.

Masanori Nagaoka (ed.) (2020) Springer International Publishing
This Open Access book explores the debates about heritage reconstruction globally and provides a historical record of the possible reconstruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues. The statues are part of the World Heritage site of “Cultural Landscape and Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley”, inscribed in the World Heritage List in 2003, two years after the tragic destruction by the Taliban of the two standing Buddha statues.
