Convention concerning the protection of the world cultural and natural heritage: World Heritage Committee, thirty-eighth session
This document presents the decisions adopted by the World Heritage Committee at its 38th session in Doha, Qatar, on 15-25 June 2014. It addresses the need to integrate a concern for heritage within international policies and programmes for disaster risk reduction and adopts revised corrective measures for the property from the List of World Heritage in Danger (DSOCR), which include a fully operational disaster risk preparedness plan to address all vulnerabilities and risk preparedness and disaster management strategies in flood and earthquake prone regions.
It also calls on States Parties to ensure that their delegations to the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) are sensitized to this question and promote heritage as an essential consideration in disaster risk reduction.
