Busan Declaration calls for stronger global action to protect cultural and natural treasures

During the committee session, delegates unanimously adopted the Busan Declaration on World Heritage. The statement urges member states to deepen international cooperation and boost resources aimed at shielding heritage from climate‑driven hazards and armed conflict.

The declaration is framed as a clear, robust message: protection efforts must not only continue but also be intensified. UNESCO hopes the consensus reached in Busan will translate into concrete policies and increased funding for the preservation of world‑shared heritage.
