"Heritage and Climate through open, constructive and intergenerational dialogues" is the theme for the World Heritage day 2022.
In 1982, ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) established April 18 as World Heritage Day, after which UNESCO adopted the day at its 22nd General Assembly. Each year, on this occasion, ICOMOS offers a theme for its members, national and international scientific committees, working groups and partners, and all those wishing to celebrate this day.
"Heritage and Climate through open, constructive and intergenerational dialogues" is the theme for the World Heritage day 2022.
In other words, the slogan of the World Heritage Day 2022 is constructive and intergenerational dialogue for the protection of heritage and climate. World Heritage Day provides a timely opportunity to demonstrate strategies promoting the full potential of heritage conservation research and practice, as well as advocating for reducing the carbon footprint by providing climate-enhancing ways to strengthen sustainable development.
World Heritage Sites
A World Heritage Site (UNESCO) is a landmark or territory protected by an international convention. World Heritage Sites are designated by UNESCO for cultural, historical, scientific or other significance. The sites contain "cultural and natural heritage from around the world that are considered to be of the greatest value to humanity".
The World Heritage site list in Nepal
Nepal is full of cultural and natural diversity. Nepal has 10 natural and cultural heritage sites which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These are: Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Changunarayan, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Lumbini, Chitwan National Park and Everest National Park.
On World Heritage Day, many voices of heritage protection are raised around the world. This day is also important for the institutional practice of trying to bring back the idols and arts of our deities sold in the world market by smuggling. Lets protect the heritage from East Mechi to West Mahakali. Happy World Heritage Day to all
