中国拥有丰富而多样的遗产资源，而中国也是世界上最大的发展中国家。随着2030年可持续发展议程的通过，国际社会愈发深刻地认识到文化在创造体面工作和经济增长、减少不平等、保护环境以及建设和平和包容性社会方面的强大作用。因此中国在遗产保护和文化发展方面的经验和实践具有重要的参考价值。无论是政府部门、传承人、文化从业人员还是媒体、社区群众，都需要提升对文化和遗产推动可持续发展的了解，针对文化和遗产面临的机遇和挑战思考并提出富有创造力的解决方案，让可持续发展能够切实普惠每一个人。
第一册：《世界遗产概述》
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379625
《保护世界文化和自然遗产公约》自1972年诞生以来，其历史意义和价值是在不断拓展和发展的。今天，当我们谈及世界遗产之时，早已不仅是遗产本身及其保存，而是还有诸如原住民权益、性别平等、人权、和平、贫困、就业、旅游、文化表达多样性、气候变化等可持续发展的话题。
本书回顾了世界遗产体系、关键概念、其成就和面临的挑战，为2030年可持续发展议程以及世界遗产公约与联合国教科文组织其他公约如非物质文化遗产公约、文化表现多样性公约日渐增强的联动性提供了背景概述。本书也回顾了中国自加入公约以来的发展历程，特别是从“遗产大国”走向“遗产强国”所做的努力。
本书旨在帮助广大世界遗产管理者（包括预备项目遗产地）、行政人员、相关学界和社会公众系统地理解在当今国际大环境下世界遗产的内涵，以及它的使命和贡献。
第二册：《世界遗产价值研究与申报》
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379627
具备突出普遍价值，是一项遗产能够申报世界遗产的最根本前提。全球各类世界遗产已超1000处，在世界遗产的快速增长和洲际间、类型间不平衡问题日益显著的背景下，世界遗产委员会提出了限制每年每个国家申报的名额的“全球战略”。
以此为契机，本书在详细梳理遗产申报流程和方法的基础之上，着重分析了价值研究的重要性，并通过如大运河、丝绸之路、鼓浪屿、土司遗址、良渚古城遗址和殷墟等遗产构成要素复杂且具有代表性的案例，解读了突出普遍价值研究的方法。
本书的目的一方面在于帮助预备名录遗产地以及有意向申遗的保护地管理者熟悉申遗的过程和方法，另一方面则更重视剖析遗产地突出普遍价值的能力培养。希望广大保护管理人员能够用本书中提供的案例和思路，指导本地的价值研究工作，更好地推动中国申遗工作的开展，并让遗产地能够得到更有效的保护、管理和阐释。
第三册：《世界文化遗产的保护管理与监测》
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379628
截至2020年底，中国世界文化遗产保护管理机构均指定了相关部门或机构承担监测工作，其中近四成成立了专职机构。
监测与风险管理在成为遗产后的保护管理中尤为重要。监测工作可以反映遗产的保护状况，长期监测积累的数据一方面是关于亟需保护的遗产要素面临威胁的及时体现，另一方面则可以通过分析研究后得出结论，有针对性地科学指导遗产地工作者实施及调整相关保护管理措施，使得保护管理工作更明确和全面，提高工作效率。
本册书介绍了中国针对于世界文化遗产保护建立的法律法规、管理、规划、监测预警体系和灾害风险管理的相关规定和工作程序，并以案例分析的形式分享了不同情况下采取的不同保护管理措施和监测预警的相关工作，同时也总结了有关保护管理和监测的常见问题。
第四册：《世界自然遗产的保护管理与监测》
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379629
自然遗产、混合遗产中的自然要素，以及文化景观遗产的保护管理过程中，面临着许多共通的要求和挑战。为更好地为这些遗产的保护管理者提供指导，本书围绕着四个方面展开：即自然遗产价值识别和完整性保护、自然遗产管理、自然遗产规划、自然遗产监测。
本书的主要目的在于使自然遗产管理者能够掌握《世界遗产公约》中的世界遗产保护管理的基本规则；立足中国特色，通过案例学习使其了解中国自然遗产地保护管理特点和经验，解答其在自然遗产地保护管理过程中遇到的典型问题。
希望读者能够通过本书全面了解遗产保护、管理、规划和监测各个方面的国内国际要求、综合概况和存在的问题和挑战，并同时开扩国际视野，使其了解世界各国自然遗产地优秀的保护、管理、规划和监测经验。
第五册：《世界遗产地可持续旅游管理》
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379631
在遗产地旅游热度高涨的背景下，如何高效、可持续地管理遗产地旅游世界遗产地作为重要的旅游目的地，一方面应对着环境压力、传统流失、社区矛盾等前所未有的新问题和挑战，而另一方面，旅游业的繁荣也为遗产地传播遗产价值、带动当地文化经济发展和社区繁荣等方面创造着着源源不断的机遇。
本书从世界遗产地管理者的视角出发，解读如何管理好遗产地旅游，使之变成当地经济、社会、环境和文化可持续发展的推动力。本书将回答，如何在有效传播遗产价值的同时，公平合理分配旅游收益，负责任地开展旅游活动？如何管理好各利益相关方，如游客、当地社区、志愿者等？如何高质高效运营如解说、景区经营、环境管理等？
第六册：《遗产保护助力可持续发展》
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379632
促进保护和发展协同并进是当下国际与国内社会的共同诉求。中国作为世界遗产和非物质文化遗产大国，以及全球最大的发展中国家，在不断加速的城镇化进程、经济增长和社会变迁中，一直致力于平衡遗产保护和社会经济发展。
当前，包括2030年《可持续发展议程》和中国十三五、十四五发展规划在内的国际国内发展议程都愈发重视文化活化利用对社会经济可持续发展的促进作用。为此，联合国教科文组织自2017 年起，联动国际国内发展议程和机构使命，以可持续生计为载体、中德文化交流为窗口，就遗产地保护和发展协同进行了一系列探索。
本书介绍了国际与国内遗产保护和可持续发展的相关政策，以案例的形式总结了文化在消除贫困、促进性别平等、促进经济增长和就业、提升世界遗产地韧性、推动乡村振兴中的巨大潜力。

Launch of the China World Heritage Capacity Building Manuals
In October, UNESCO Beijing Office launched the China World Heritage Capacity Building Manuals (abbrev. Manuals) publication series. The Manuals consist of 6 volumes, and are key outputs of the UNESCO - China Youth Development Foundation Mercedes-Benz Star Fund “Conservation and Management of World Heritage Sites in China” project within the framework of its third phase from 2017 to 2021. Building upon solid research by leading institutions and experts, and on years of experience accumulated from pilot activities in collaboration with World Heritage sites, intangible cultural heritage bearers and local communities, this publication series provides up-to-date knowledge and good practices in the context of China on how to effectively manage and utilise culture and heritage for sustainable socio-economic and environmental development.
China is home to abundant and spectacular heritage resources. With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, the international community acknowledged the power of culture for creating decent work and economic growth, reducing inequalities, protecting the environment, and building peaceful and inclusive societies. Thus, China’s experience and good practices in conserving heritage and managing culture-related sectors serve as valuable sources of reference. All stakeholders, including governments, media, culture experts and practitioners, local communities, and civil society, require enhanced capacities in understanding the enabling role of culture and heritage in sustainable development, as well as how to respond to challenges and develop innovative solutions to mobilise the power of culture and heritage for the benefit of a more sustainable future for all.
Volume 1 : World Heritage Overview
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379625
Since the birth of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1972, its meanings and values have steadily evolved. Today, when we talk about World Heritage, it is no longer just about the tangible site and its conservation. In fact, World Heritage today is engaged in sustainable development issues such as indigenous rights, gender equality, human rights, peace, poverty, employment, tourism, diversity of cultural expression, climate change and much more.
This volume reviews the World Heritage system and its key concepts, achievements and challenges. It gives context to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the increasing synergies between the World Heritage Convention and UNESCO's other cultural conventions dealing with, for example, living heritage and the diversity of cultural expressions. This volume also shines a light on China's endeavors from "high-quantity inscription" to "high-quality conservation" since ratification of the Convention in 1985.
This volume encourages World Heritage site (as well as Tentative List site) managers, administrators, academic researchers and the general public to gain a systematic understanding of the meanings, missions and contributions of World Heritage in the new global environment viewed from a much broader perspective.
Volume 2 : World Heritage Value Research and Nomination
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379627
Outstanding Universal Value is the prerequisite of World Heritage nomination. With the growing number of inscribed properties, now well over 1000, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee launched the Global Strategy for a Representative, Balanced and Credible World Heritage List to improve the balance in the type of inscribed properties and in the geographical areas of the world that were represented.
This volume highlights the importance of value research on top of systematic review of the procedures and methods of heritage nomination. Through complex and representative case studies of the nominations of The Grand Canal, Silk Roads, Kulangsu, Tusi Sites, Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, and Yin Xu, this Volume introduces methodologies of Outstanding Universal Value research.
This volume helps managers of Tentative List sites as well as those that are interested in heritage nomination gain a better understanding of the process and methods of nomination, and gain capacity in elaborating the Outstanding Universal Value of the sites. Case studies and analytical tools help to guide the value research of sites, to enhance China's heritage nomination, and to promote the conservation, management and interpretation of heritage sites in China.
Volume 3: Conservation, Management and Monitoring of Cultural World Heritage Sites in China
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379628
Until the end of 2020, all cultural World Heritage administrations in China have designated department or entities to undertake heritage monitoring, and nearly 40% have established specialised department for monitoring.
Monitoring reflects the state of conservation of World Heritage sites, and the data accumulated through long-term monitoring provides timely precaution for heritage elements under threat. Through data analysis, professionals can develop evidence-based actions for better conservation and management practices, and making their work more targeted, comprehensive and efficient.
This volume introduces China's laws, regulations, systems and procedures for cultural World Heritage management, planning, monitoring, pre-warning and disaster risk mitigation. Case studies demonstrate different circumstances, and summarize frequently encountered questions around monitoring, disaster risk mitigation and conservation.
Volume 4: Conservation, Management and Monitoring of Natural World Heritage Sites in China
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379629
In the process of managing natural World Heritage sites and the natural components in mixed sites and cultural landscapes, there are many shared requirements and challenges. To provide effective guidance for the managers of these elements, this volume develops four thematic areas: natural heritage value identification and integrity conservation, natural heritage conservation assessment, natural heritage planning and management, and natural heritage monitoring.
Natural heritage managers will learn the requirements of the World Heritage Convention, on the situation and characteristics of natural heritage management in China, and solutions to typical issues in natural heritage conservation and management, also through case studies.
This volume strengthens understanding of international and domestic protocols and regulations and the issues and challenges that natural heritage faces, and to raise awareness on good practices around the world.
Volume 5: Sustainable Tourism Management at World Heritage Sites in China
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379631
With the booming popularity of World Heritage tourism, how to manage it efficiently and sustainably? World Heritage sites as tourism hotspots are experiencing unprecedented challenges such as environmental pressure, loss of local traditions and conflicts with local communities, and at the same time facing new opportunities in terms of promoting heritage values and the development of local cultural economies.
From the perspective of site managers, this book speaks to the need of effectively managing World Heritage tourism, so that it propels local economic, social, environmental and cultural sustainable development. It answers the following questions: How to responsibly develop tourism and fairly distribute benefits from tourism, while effectively disseminate heritage values? How to manage tourism stakeholders, including tourists, local communities and volunteers? How to manage scenic area interpretation, operation and environment protection?
Managers and professionals of World Heritage in China will appreciate the theories, practical cases and real-life solutions on sustainable tourism development and management that this book offers.
Volume 6: Heritage Conservation for Sustainable Development in China
https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379632
Promoting synergies between conservation and development is a priority both within China and around the world. Being a country with a large number of World Heritage sites and Intangible Cultural Heritage elements, and the world's largest developing country undergoing accelerating urbanization, fast economic growth and social changes, China is dedicated to conservation and development and the related challenges of doing both well.
Culture's positive role in sustainable socio-economic development is evident in both the 2030 Agenda and China's 13th and 14th Five-Year Plans. Since 2017, UNESCO Beijing Office has been synergising global and domestic development agendas and UNESCO's mandate in culture. A series of unique pilot activities focusing on sustainable livelihoods in World Heritage sites, and a China-Germany cultural exchange on heritage conservation for sustainable development are underway.
