The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) strongly believes that heritage—natural and cultural, tangible and intangible—is fundamental to addressing the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but more work is needed to demonstrate these links.

To address this gap, the ICOMOS SDGs Working Group, in cooperation with the wider ICOMOS membership, has prepared this Policy Guidance document to illustrate the many ways in which heritage can address the SDGs. By providing guidance to ICOMOS members, heritage professionals, and development actors, among others, the document aims to demonstrate the potential for harnessing heritage to assist in achieving sustainable development.
