This report from the Canadian and UK Commissions for UNESCO explores the critical role of communities living in and around UNESCO’s designated sites in promoting sustainable development at the local level. It provides a vision for how UNESCO designated sites, and most importantly, the communities, businesses, stakeholders, rightsholders, and organisations that work tirelessly to maintain and support their natural and cultural heritage for future generations, can work together to achieve the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and beyond.
