ICOMOS advocates for the protection of cultural heritage worldwide.
With National and Scientific Committees and members active across the globe, we remain closely connected to the realities on the ground and to the evolving challenges facing cultural heritage. We raise awareness, offer our technical and scientific expertise, and take action to safeguard endangered sites. Whether responding to emergencies, issuing Heritage Alerts and public statements, or supporting local efforts, we act through our collective knowledge to defend heritage, the communities who are attached to it, and the professionals who care for it. Our advocacy reflects a strong commitment to upholding the value of cultural heritage in society and to advancing its role in building resilient, inclusive and sustainable futures.
