An equally important task is the problems of the modern world that require us to be more active, such as strengthening our preparedness to respond to the impacts of climate change, helping our world heritages to be more resilient to man-made disasters or natural disasters, while optimizing the well-being of the people. To do this, the active participation of the community, including young people and women living in and around this heritage, is needed,” said Mr. Jonathan Wallace Baker./.
