Share Your Example – Nordic World Heritage Conference on Sustainable Development

We are organizing the Nordic World Heritage Conference with the theme Sustainable Development 14-17 september 2026, and we would like to feature inspiring examples from Nordic World Heritage sites.

We invite you to share a short description (maximum 300 words) of one concrete initiative or project from your site that addresses sustainability challenges and demonstrates how it connects to one of UNESCO’s 5Cs:

  • Credibility – Strengthening the integrity and recognition of World Heritage
  • Conservation – Protecting and managing heritage values
  • Capacity-building – Developing skills and knowledge for heritage management
  • Communication – Raising awareness and sharing knowledge
  • Communities – Engaging and empowering local communities

In your text, please indicate:

  • Which of the 5Cs your initiative relates to
  • How it contributes to sustainable development
  • Even though we know your site carries out many excellent actions, please select one example that is concrete and can inspire others.

Please include one high-quality image that represents your initiative, with caption and credit.

Deadline for submission: April 20, 2026.

Contributions will be collected and shared during the conference to facilitate networking and exchange of ideas. They will also be available online to inspire others and strengthen the role of World Heritage in building a sustainable future.
