In conjunction with this year's meeting of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, and in partnership with our network of civil society organizations, World Heritage Watch is organizing an International NGO Conference

The Conference follows an International NGO Forum held in St. Petersburg in 2012, and an International Conference on World Heritage and the Role of Civil Society in Bonn 2015. In September 2015, the UN General Assembly has adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030 by all countries in the world (Agenda 2030). Sub-goal 11.4 reads: "Strengthen the efforts for the protection and safeguarding of the world's natural and cultural heritage".
