A lot happened at the 47th World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris. Of historic importance was the strong presence of Indigenous Peoples participating in deliberations and sharing their views on universal values, and the relationship between nature and culture. With Claudia Sanchez Flores 🇲🇽

The Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences hosted a dialogue between scientists and Indigenous Peoples on the role of Indigenous knowledge in biodiversity, climate responses and policy. Some excellent contributions in the publication. www.pas.va/en/publicati... #IndigenousPeoples
