Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Paris, 16 November 1972.

The convention is built upon three main pillars: environmental protection, cultural preservation, and social justice.

The environmental protection pillar emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy environment through stringent pollution control measures, the establishment of protected areas, and mandatory environmental impact assessments for significant projects. It also addresses climate change by promoting renewable energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The cultural preservation pillar focuses on safeguarding cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible. This includes protecting cultural heritage sites and objects, promoting cultural diversity, and ensuring the maintenance of traditions, languages, and practices that define community identities. It also enshrines cultural rights, ensuring that individuals and communities have access to and can participate in cultural life.

The social justice pillar aims to enhance public participation in environmental and cultural decision-making processes, promote social inclusion, and reduce inequalities. It seeks to improve the health and well-being of citizens by advocating for clean environments and healthy living conditions. Additionally, it supports education and awareness on environmental, cultural, and social issues, and encourages community development and empowerment through local initiatives and participatory governance.
