The Heritage@Risk program was endorsed by ICOMOS members at the General Assembly in Mexico in 1999.
ICOMOS publishes World Reports on Monuments and Sites in Danger, the aim of which is to identify threatened heritage places, monuments and sites, present typical case studies and trends, and share suggestions for solving individual or global threats to our cultural heritage.
The reports continue to highlight significant New Zealand heritage at risk, discuss heritage protection mechanisms in New Zealand and legislative changes, such as including heritage as a matter of national importance under the Resource Management Act 1991.
