  • Background

World Heritage properties grapple with multifaceted conservation and management challenges, with a large percentage of them facing issues related to new development. The World Heritage Committee has increasingly requested State Parties to the Convention to undertake Impact Assessments to have the adequate tools to adequately inform decision-making in these heritage places and to avoid irreversible impacts to attributes that embody the Outstanding Universal Value of the properties.

The Advisory Bodies to the Convention, in partnership with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, have developed Guidance and Toolkits for Impact Assessment in the World Heritage context. These serve to better assist State Parties in the understanding of what these assessments entail and to provide a roadmap for their implementation.

In 2022, the State Party of Philippines expects to improve the management and conservation of World Heritage. Based on the requirements and situation in Philippines, NCCA and WHITRAP Shanghai signed the Cooperative Project Agreement related to the implementation of capacity building activities to focus on key management aspects for World Heritage and on Impact Assessments.
WHITRAP Shanghai, in collaboration with its partner NCCA, has organised a capacity building activity, composed of four online lectures and a workshop, which aim to:
• Understand statutory processes established in the World Heritage system and existing tools for their implementation;
• Promote awareness of and better understanding of conservation and management of World Heritage Properties, including monitoring requirements and reporting mechanisms;

• Equip the participants with current knowledge, methodological approaches and skills in the design and implementation of Impact Assessments in the context of World Heritage.
