Abstract:
There are twelve UNESCO World Heritage sites in Switzerland: nine cultural and three natural. Amid global challenges such as climate change and growing tourist numbers, what issues do these sites face in terms of sustainable development? Since the adoption of a global policy on World Heritage and Sustainable Development in 2015, reflecting on this question has become increasingly important in terms of framing national responses.
