On November 25, 2023, the UNESCO Hong Kong Association and the Hong Kong Institute of Education for Sustainable Development held the “2023 Hong Kong – Greater Bay Area (GBA) Secondary School Model UNESCO Conference on World Heritage”. 162 secondary school students from 30 schools in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area passed the preliminary and participated in the conference. Student delegations represented 54 different countries, each proposed innovative solutions to protect World Heritage, and formed consensus to establish” Youth Declaration on Protecting World Heritage”(the Declaration) through insightful discussion and negotiation.
The conference empowered youth to actively explore international affairs, broaden their international horizons, and promoted the exchange and respect of culture between students from Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, cultivating sustainable future talents with Hong Kong roots, national pride, and a global perspective.

The welcoming remark was delivered by Prof. Karen Cheung. She expressed that the conference enhanced students’ ability to engage in meaningful and collaborative discussion international issues through immersive research-based learning. From independent research and preparation, in-depth experience, team-based strategy presentation, to discussions and negotiation, and ultimately drawing insights on the strategies of different countries to protect world heritage to establishing the declaration, the process transformed knowledge to cognitive understanding and tangible actions, effectively cultivating students’ interdisciplinary skills such as negotiation, critical thinking, and system thinking.
Welcoming Remark by Prof. Karen Cheung
Mr. Chiang Chi ho, Ivanhoe appraised the importance of the conference in raising youth’s awareness and encouraging them to actively think and participate in the protection of cultural and natural heritage. He pointed out that protecting World Heritage and ensuring its sustainable development requires international partnership, cross-sector collaboration, stakeholders, and public engagement. During this conference, the students were able to appreciate, respect, learn and evaluate on the strategies of protecting world heritage in different countries. This experiential learning experience will help young people to participate in the protection of precious cultures and monuments in Hong Kong and around the world.
Officiating Remark by Mr. Chiang Chi ho, Ivanhoe
With participants from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, this conference was unique and significant as it connected “local, national and international”. During the conference, negotiation and the integration of ideas helped the students to understand and appreciate each other’s perspective, encouraging them to work together to contribute their youth power to international issues. Professional adjudicators including Mrs Rosa S.F. Lok, the Former Assistant Director of Housing (Housing Subsidies) of The Hong Kong Housing Authority, Member of The Hong Kong Institute of Architectural Conservationists, Dr Lau Leung Kwok Prudence, Assistant Professor and the Associate Head of Department of the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts of The Education University of Hong Kong, and Dr WONG Tai Choi Richard, Lecturer at the Department of Science and Environmental Studies of The Education University of Hong Kong gave insightful suggestions to the final “declaration”.
Final – Youth Declaration on Protecting World Heritage
In the ‘Declaration,’ students advocated that youth should act as ‘heritage ambassadors who safeguard our ancient treasures.’ At a personal level, individuals can raise awareness of World Heritage protection through social media. At the school level, research-based World Heritage projects could be integrated into courses and curriculums on sustainable development. On a societal level, youths could become ‘Green Citizens Youth Ambassadors,’ participating in local and international voluntary work for heritage protection and taking part in cultural exchange tours. Students from all delegations call for global cooperation to address challenges faced by World Heritage sites, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and destructive urban development, and to inherit these priceless treasures shared by humankind.
UNESCO Hong Kong Association will further amplify the influence of this conference by promoting the “Declaration” to local, national, and international platforms, to spread voices of youth from Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.

In response to global and local climate action, the conference also achieved the level of “excellence” in the “UNSDGs Towards Net Zero Event Recognition Award”. By calculating the energy consumption of on-site equipment, carbon emissions from the transportation of attendees, and purchasing the “Voluntary Cancellation Certificate” issued by the UNFCCC to offset the same amount of carbon dioxide emission of the event, the conference achieved net zero carbon emission. The conference also encouraged the student participants to take low-carbon measures during the event, such as “Bring Your Own Bottle”, use public transport and waste sorting facilities to enhance its educational impact.

联合国教科文组织和世界遗产
1972 年，联合国教科文组织制定了《保护世界文化和自然遗产公约》，承认某些具有 突出普遍价值 的地方是人类共同遗产的一部分。
联合国教科文组织的主要任务是：
- 鼓励各国加入公约；
- 支持缔约国开展旨在提高公众意识的活动；
- 并促进国际合作。
令世界遗产的理念与众不同的是他的全球适用性，全球合作才能使其保护更加有效。
世界遗产地是人类的珍贵财富，有的保存着重要的历史和文化价值，有的有助于保护自然环境和生物多样性，有的象征着和平与文化多样性。
截至2023年6月，全球共有1157处文化和自然遗产地，其中中国占据56处。埃及的金字塔、澳大利亚的大堡礁、厄瓜多尔的加拉帕戈斯群岛、印度的泰姬陵、美国的大峡谷或希腊的雅典卫城等多样而独特的地方都是列入世界遗产名录的例子。
大会目标：
- 提高青年对保护世界遗产的重视
- 赋予青年提出创新项目和解决方案的能力，为世界贡献他们的青年智慧
