ItalianoUNESCO World Heritage List
A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a geographic site that has been selected for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's International World Heritage Programme. The programme aims to catalogue and preserve sites of outstanding importance, either cultural or natural, to the common heritage of humankind. While the World Heritage Committee maintains a list of World Heritage Sites, they make no independent review; in practice, they are listed by each national government. After the 2024 session of the World Heritage Committee, there is a total of 1,223 sites, many of which are made up of several individual components. With around 400 sites on the second smallest continent, Europe has by far the highest density of world heritage sites. Only a little over 200 sites are in the Americas and Oceania combined.
There are several related UNESCO programmes:
- UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, for things that cannot be touched such as musical or culinary traditions.
- UNESCO Creative Cities, a programme which recognizes entire cities for their cultural contributions.
- UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, for parks of great geological interest.
- UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves
- UNESCO Memory of the World (MoW), programme to preserve the documentary heritage of humanity.
There are also conservation programmes run by other organizations, such as the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as Waterfowl Habitat.
