Sustainability and the World Heritage Convention: Challenges and Difficulties

Abstract

Sustainability has long been a central focus of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention (WHC), the leading instrument for heritage conservation. As heritage management has become a significant driver of economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection, it is necessary to align conservation programmes with the sustainable development framework. However, the WHC faces difficulties in promoting and contributing to sustainable development. Heritage actors operating under the WHC framework regularly run across conflicting objectives with the widespread adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although, in theory, the social, ecological, cultural, and economic aspects of sustainable development can be balanced, its practical implementation often requires finding workable and balanced trade-offs between the four dimensions of sustainability. As awareness of climate change has increased dramatically over the last ten years, there is a need to reprioritize sustainability dimensions and goals taken into account in specific heritage conservation programmes leading to hard choices framed as dilemma situations. In this paper, those dilemma situations in the heritage context are examined in more detail, and it is discussed how the WHC may assist in dealing with them and making the best judgments when faced with challenging sustainability choices.

Biography

As a sustainability expert and a cross-disciplinary thinker, I combine sustainability vision and practical experience to deliver a solution-based approach for buildings, master plans, and cities. My master was in Architecture and Sustainable environment, as I am passionate about cities and the built environment, leading teams to achieve effective sustainability outcomes. I have worked on various projects in the MENA region and beyond and held roles in various sectors. I am a Ph.D. student at La Salle, working on the sustainable development of the historic city of Tripoli, my hometown.
