As the year draws to a close, the General Secretariat would like to thank all the cities that have participated in the OWHC’s activities. As of today, December 4, the General Secretariat is proud to count 124 members in good standing. A significant number, which testifies to the confidence and commitment of cities to protect and enhance the universal values of their world heritage.

2024 has been a great year for the Organization, which ended with the 17^th World Congress in Cordoba! The year 2025 promises to be an exciting one; the General Secretariat is putting the finishing touches to the details of the programs and activities that will offer multiple opportunities for encounters and cooperation.

The whole team wishes you a very happy and festive season and a year 2025 filled with peace, dialogue and exchanges within the framework of many shared projects!

The General Secretariat of the OWHC
