Australia was elected today in Paris to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee by the General Assembly of States Parties to the World Heritage Convention. We will serve a four year term, concluding in November 2021.
The World Heritage Committee plays a vital role in the protection and celebration of natural and cultural sites around the world – from the Great Wall of China, the Lascaux Cave in France, Machu Picchu, the Galápagos Islands and the Pyramids of Giza, to the tropical rainforests of Borneo.
