The world’s heritage needs to be preserved and handed over to the future generations. UNESCO and its Member States play a crucial role in this task.

Through these photos, we discover the diversity of the different sub-regions of the G-77 and China that constitutes a priceless heritage for humanity. This exhibit highlights the natural and cultural wealth of the different sites inscribed on the World Heritage List.

Forty years after the adoption of the 1972 Convention, the current challenges of States Parties remind us of the necessity to protect and preserve humanity’s cultural and natural heritage.
