The 1,154 cultural and natural World Heritage properties located in 167 countries across the globe testify at once to its diversity and to the power of heritage to bring people together around common values and aspirations. The theme for the anniversary year is “The Next 50: World Heritage as a source of resilience, humanity and innovation.” Five key areas will orient the reflection on the Next 50: Climate Change and Heritage Conservation; Balanced Representation of the Inscribed Sites; Sustainable Tourism; Digital Transformation; and Post-COVID-19 Recovery. In close partnership with the NI Institute for protection of monuments of culture and Museum - Ohrid with collaboration with the Munistry of Culture of North Macedonia and the National Commission for UNESCO, we are highly motivated to mark this anniversary.
