Climate change and risks to cultural heritage will be in focus as delegates from 134 Member States meet in Rome for ICCROM’s 29th General Assembly, 18-20 November 2015.
The three-day event will celebrate the recently-signed new Headquarters Agreement with the United Arab Emirates, welcome the Russian Federation amongst ICCROM’s Member States, and see the presentation of the prestigious ICCROM Award, in addition to a thematic session on climate change and its projected effects on heritage. Member State delegations, observers and invited guests will meet to debate on challenges faced by heritage worldwide, elect new representatives to the ICCROM Council and ratify ICCROM’s biennial Programme and Budget 2016-2017.
We will be offering live web streaming for much of the meeting. Please consult the General Assembly agenda and tune in (GMT +1).
