The IUCN Secretariat is currently updating the IUCN World Heritage Outlook, an independent assessment of the state of conservation of all World Heritage sites inscribed for their natural values. These sites are internationally recognised to be of the highest global conservation significance; however, Indigenous Heritage Values have historically not always been included as part of this process.
To support the full and effective participation of Indigenous people on World Heritage, the IUCN World Heritage Outlook process is opening further avenues for engagement. Indigenous experts, knowledge holders, representatives, leaders, and IUCN’s IPO Members are being invited to shape the IUCN World Heritage Outlook process and to improve the recognition of Indigenous Heritage Values in UNESCO World Heritage sites.
This dialogue process is starting now. Please find further information on how to get involved in the below information leaflets.
