Heritage plays a key role in sustainability. The absence of studies examining the core competencies of UNESCO actors for disaster risk management (DRM) and preparedness at heritage sites prompted this survey. Respondents from 59 countries revealed high ratings for all competencies listed, with significant discrepancies in terms of building relationships that require attention. In addition, substantial variations in competencies were related to factors such as age, job title, and previous experiences with disaster damage. Holistic DRM competency is the main predictor of disaster preparedness at heritage sites. Thus, improved preparedness through experiential learning and coordinated knowledge-sharing mechanisms will preserve our collective heritage for a sustainable future.
Modelo de simulación Monte Carlo, diseñado para simular el comportamiento de un conjunto de objetos a lo largo del tiempo. El modelo incorpora agentes de deterioro con los parámetros de riesgo del método ABC para simular eventos adversos. Como resultado, combina degradación continua y probabilística. Este enfoque híbrido nos permite estudiar el comportamiento del sistema y explorar el rango de posibles vidas útiles de una colección. El principal resultado del modelo es la pérdida de condición de una colección como consecuencia de todos los procesos de degradación combinados. El modelo se basa en seis hipótesis que se describen para su posterior verificación.
This article studies the role that cultural heritage is playing in the war in Ukraine and identifies some of its threats and vulnerabilities in order to establish a risk context. Throughout it will be shown that, far from considering the destruction of heritage as “collateral damage”, cultural heritage in this war is a war objective, given the symbolic value attributed by the Kremlin to Ukraine's heritage. Thus, its destruction can be exploited by the invading army as part of a hybrid strategy of coercion, domination and destabilization, while the affected communities perceive it as an annihilation aimed at undermining and eliminating their cultural identity.
Este artículo presenta un balance preliminar del patrimonio cultural en Gaza afectado desde el inicio del conflicto en 2023, proponiendo un conjunto de mecanismos para el el seguimiento jurídico y un marco para los futuros planes y programas de recuperación y reconstrucción . A su vez, analiza las políticas en protección del patrimonio implementadas por Palestina, así como el rol que juegan las organizaciones internaciones como la UNESCO y los mecanismos de protección del patrimonio garantizados por el derecho internacional humanitario.

This interim damage assessment report quantifies the damage to physical infrastructure in critical sectors in Palestine between October 2023 and the end of January 2024 using remote data collection sources.
El principal objetivo de este estudio es identificar indicadores relevantes de vulnerabilidad a las inundaciones (FLOVIs) que puedan servir de base para desarrollar un método basado en indicadores dedicado al patrimonio cultural.
