Description
Through its mandate to protect and preserve places of 'outstanding universal value', the World Heritage Convention provides an unlikely yet effective tool in global efforts to mitigate climate change. The practical efficacy of the Strategy to Assist States Parties to Implement Appropriate Management Responses ('the Strategy'), which represents the World Heritage Committee's primary response to the threats posed by climate change to World Heritage sites, is undermined by its weak stance on mitigation. This paper argues that the World Heritage Convention Imposes stronger obligations on States Parties than those contained in the Strategy, including a duty on States parties to commit to 'deep cuts' in greenhouse gas emissions States Parties must engage in extensive mitigation strategies without delay.
