"Young Climate Action for World He­ritage" is an edu­ca­tional project of the In­stitute He­ritage Studies and the German Com­mission for UNESCO. It com­bines the topics of UNESCO World He­ritage, edu­cation for sus­tainable de­ve­lo­pment and climate change in an in­no­vative way.

In this project, pupils and te­a­chers from UNESCO project schools in Germany, Poland, the Czech Re­public and Denmark ex­plored their cross-border World He­ritage sites.

This project takes the 50th an­ni­versary of the most suc­cessful in­ter­na­tional con­vention for the pro­tection of humanity's he­ritage – the World He­ritage Con­vention – as an op­por­tunity to re­flect on suc­cesses, con­flicts and chal­lenges. Under the aspects of "re­spon­si­bility", "re­con­ci­liation" and "sus­taina­bility", po­tential con­flicts and their avo­idance as well as so­lution stra­tegies will be dis­cussed and de­ve­loped and pu­blished in a book in 2022.https://heritagestudies.eu/en/50-years-world-heritage-convention-shared-responsibility-conflict-reconciliation/https://50yearsworldheritageconvention.wordpress.com/
