Space-Based Technologies for the Preservation of World Heritage Sites
Event date and time : 12 September 2023 13:00-14:30 (UTC +3)
Room : Al Ahsa Oasis Room, Al Faisaliah Hotel
This side event aims at discussing how the use of space-based technologies can help World Heritage practitioners (in particular site managers) better identify and prevent potential threats to sites, respond and recover from natural and anthropogenic hazards.
It will do so by raising further awareness of existing collaborative opportunities with relevant partners (e.g., HIST UNESCO Category 2 Centre and the Copernicus programme) for the use of space-based technologies and analysis tools for the monitoring of the state of conservation of World Heritage sites (focus on Earth Observation applications).
