Résumé (en anglais)

The benefit and impact of World Heritage is felt at various levels, the local and global, which are homogenized when management frameworks are put into action. This homogenization of various aspects of World Heritage affects the integration of climate action because the management of the Outstanding Universal Value and achieving global indicators often get prioritised over local needs. The true measure of integrating climate action can be seen when frameworks are facilitated by the communities inhabiting in and surrounding World Heritage sites. This paper will investigate the integration of climate action and the application of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in site management of World Heritage properties. Two sites are investigated: the Taj Mahal in India and Monticello and the University of Virginia in Charlottesville in the USA. This is a continuation of research done in 2021 by the ICOMOS Sustainable Development Goals Working Group as it investigates varied strategies and global issues being put into the context of World Heritage sites, beyond its main remit of safeguarding the Outstanding Universal Value. With the advent of the climate crisis, there is an urgent need to see heritage as a solution and an integral part of climate action plans. This study is a contribution to a growing literature to aid in anticipating the devastating consequences of heritage succumbing to the potential damage of climate change.
