A shared commitment
MA XUEJING/CHINA DAILY The UNESCO-China partnership is not only for global heritage preservation but also a catalyst for fostering a more inclusive, peaceful and sustainable world In a world characterized by swift urban expansion, environmental crises and socioeconomic shifts, the safeguarding of our cultural and natural heritage is more than just a preservation effort — it is an affirmation of our shared historical narrative and a promise to future generations. China's dedication to preserving its vast array of cultural and natural heritage is evident in its 59 UNESCO World Heritage sites. Looking ahead, the UNESCO-China partnership will prioritize sustainable tourism practices that enhance local economies while safeguarding heritage sites, develop strategies to protect these sites from climate change impacts, focus on digital technologies for their preservation and presentation, and leverage China's leadership to advocate for stronger global commitments to heritage conservation. It has not only led to significant achievements in protecting China's rich cultural and natural heritage but has also made a substantial global impact by promoting sustainable development, cultural exchanges, and innovation in heritage management.
