Protection and management of tangible cultural heritage
Today, after more than 50 years, we continue to face pressing challenges: climate change, globalization, political and armed conflicts, as well as a lack of awareness about the value these sites hold for the memory and identity of peoples.
From the UNESCO MultiSectoral Office in Santiago, we work for the protection and preservation of World Heritage sites in Chile, aiming to raise awareness of their unique value and to create consciousness about the responsibility each citizen has in their care.

World Heritage Sites in Chile
The 1972 recognizes the need and importance of creating systems of international cooperation and assistance to deploy joint efforts to identify and conserve heritage. Strengthening the ties between heritage sites in Chile generates virtuous mechanisms for the exchange of technical knowledge, management, and resources, and is a measure that allows for progress towards more sustainable mechanisms for the protection and enhancement of national cultural heritage.
The UNESCO MultiSectoral Office in Santiago is committed to the management and enhancement of World Heritage sites in Chile, through the dissemination of their value as heritage, and also by promoting their conservation and preservation.
Heritage sites have management particularities that correspond to the place where they are located. To achieve this, there are local organizations that help protect them, entities that face challenges in terms of their conservation, preservation, and risk management. UNESCO supports organizations that need help managing the sites and forms alliances with the public and private sectors to consolidate plans to conserve and preserve heritage.
