Climate change Unesco recommends classifying Venice among the world heritage

Unesco has recommended placing Venice on the list of World Heritage in Danger, “insufficient” measures having been taken to combat “the impacts of climate change and mass tourism” the deterioration of the site due in particular to tourism in mass and climate change, according to a decision made public on Monday 31 July. This classification thus aims to draw attention to unresolved problems partly due to the “low efficiency and coordination” of local and national authorities.
