Il se dote pour cela de groupes de travail constitués de membres de l'ICOMOS professionnels du patrimoine : architectes, archéologues professeur.e.s et chercheurs.ses, conservateurs.trices, scientifiques.

La finalité de ces groupes peut être la rédaction d'une charte, la mise en oeuvre d'activités concrètes (sessions de travail, ateliers). 

Following the fruitful discussions of the ICOMOS Coordination Meeting on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) held on February 4-5, 2017 in Istanbul, and review period for ICOMOS membership during Spring 2017, the "ICOMOS Action Plan: Cultural Heritage and Localizing the SDGs" is now finalized and available to download online by clicking here.

The UN Habitat 3 meetings have been 20 years in the making and now the time has come! Next week, over 40,000 governments, experts and stakeholders will assemble in Quito, Ecuador to finalize the "New Urban Agenda" - a document designed to guide sustainable urbanism for the next 20 years.

Update: Click here to read the ICOMOS report on our participation at the 9th Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF9).

ICOMOS is participating actively in the 9th Session of the World Urban Forum, taking place on February 7-13, 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The World Urban Forum was established in 2001 by the United Nations to examine one of the most pressing issues facing the world today: rapid urbanization and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies. Organized and convened by UN-Habitat, the Forum has become one of the most open gatherings on the international arena; its inclusive nature, combined with high-level participation, makes it a unique UN conference and the premier international gathering on urban issues.

L'ICOMOS participe au 9ème Forum urbain mondial, qui se tiendra du 7 au 13 février 2018 à Kuala Lumpur, en Malaisie.

Le Forum urbain mondial a été créé en 2001 par les Nations Unies pour examiner l'un des problèmes les plus pressants auxquels le monde est confronté aujourd'hui : l'urbanisation rapide et son impact sur les communautés, les villes, les économies, le changement climatique et les politiques. Organisé et convoqué par ONU-Habitat, le Forum est devenu l'un des rassemblements les plus ouverts sur la scène internationale ; son caractère inclusif et une participation de haut niveau, en fait une conférence unique de l'ONU et le premier rassemblement international sur les questions urbaines.

ICOMOS had the pleasure of participating in the 14th World Congress of the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC), held under the theme “Heritage & Communities: Tools to Engage Local Communities” in Gyeongju, Republic of Korea. Held from 29 October to 3 November 2017, the OWHC Congress provided a platform to share and discuss member cities’ innovative and collective actions with the mutual goal of preserving World Heritage Sites.

An international coordination meeting will be held in Istanbul on 4-5 February 2017, convened by the ICOMOS Focal Point for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the support of the ICOMOS Turkish National Committee and ICOMOS International Secretariat, as part of ICOMOS efforts related to the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, in particular the Heritage Target (SDG11.4) to “protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage” under the heading of “sustainable cities” (SDG11).

3 July, 18:40-19:30

ICOMOS is pleased to host, as an Advisory Bodies Side Event in the 41st Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee being held in Krakow, Poland, a panel discussing activities of selected international agencies working for cultural and natural heritage related to the implementation of the UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on SDG 11.4 and how this work relates to World Heritage, particularly in the context of cities and local governments.

ICOMOS is reflecting on its doctrinal input and good practices on topical themes involving the conservation of cultural heritage. To this end, ICOMOS has set up working groups comprising various ICOMOS members and heritage professionals: architects, archaeologists, professors, researchers and scientists.

The outcomes of these groups can be the drafting of a charter as well as the implementation of practical activities (working sessions, workshops).

Climate change Working Group

Working Groups work streams:

(1) Develop and coordinate ICOMOS inputs into the update of the 2007 World Heritage Committee “Policy Document on the Impacts of Climate Change on World Heritage Properties.” This will include soliciting and collecting inputs from various ICOMOS constituencies including National Committee and International Scientific Committees, synthesizing those inputs and offering them in a timely and helpful matter to the joint UNESCO-ICCROM-IUCN-ICOMOS Policy update process. Target completion date: July 2019.

(2) Develop a draft global climate change organizational engagement program for ICOMOS (the “Roadmap”). The ICOMOS Roadmap would suggest a framework for comprehensive engagement by ICOMOS members on climate change including suggested activities and areas of engagement and responsibility for various ICOMOS International Scientific Committees, National Committees, specialized bodies and the Secretariat. Target completion date: October 2019 (at ICOMOS AdCom meeting in Rabat, Morocco).

(3) Coordinating the drafting of a new ICOMOS Charter on Climate Change and Heritage. A charter is ICOMOS’s most formal type of international doctrinal document, addressing heritage and conservation as a discipline. The consideration and adoption of charters is governed by specific procedures set out in the ICOMOS Rules of Procedure. The pursuit of Charter as a capstone to the WG efforts is advisable both because the outcome will provide authoritative guidance on best practices for the managing of heritage in the face of climate change but also because the inclusive process is required for charter consideration is perhaps the most comprehensive way to engage ICOMOS members on a topic. The charter is expected to be a map to the Policy Document but will include all types of cultural heritage (not just World Heritage) and may extend to areas that the WHC chooses not to include in its Policy for political or other reasons. Target completion draft: October 2019 (final draft submission at ICOMOS annual general meeting; Rabat, Morocco); October 2020: adoption at the 20th ICOMOS General Assembly (Sydney, Australia).

In 1994, floods nearly destroyed the Punakha Dzong, when the two rivers surrounding the fortress swelled to over flowing. Bhutan is often mentioned as one of the world's climate change "hot spots".
