IDMS 2024: Five ICOMOS works on disaster and risk management

IDMS 2024 Website BannerThe 2024 edition of the International Day for Monuments and Sites on 18 April 2024 will focus on “Disaster and Conflict through the Lens of the Venice Charter” and simultaneously start the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Venice Charter, adopted on 31 May 1964. ICOMOS members and heritage professionals will reappraise the Venice Charter and its impact on conservation practice and engage debate on its suitability for addressing the challenges of a climate emergency, conflicts and natural disasters.

To support of this reflection, the Documentation Centre has selected five previous ICOMOS publications available in full text on the ICOMOS Open Archive addressing aspects of the damage caused to heritage by various kinds of disasters (notably earthquakes, floods and armed conflits) and subsequents ways to recovery.
