Mission

ICCROM is an intergovernmental organization (IGO) dedicated to the conservation of cultural heritage. It exists to serve the international community as represented by its Member States, which currently number 136.

Disaster Reduction Goal

Aiming at building capacities for effective risk management of cultural heritage, ICCROM has developed a two-track programme. One track aims to enhance national capacities for prevention and disaster risk mitigation, while the other focuses on facilitating efficient local responses in order to protect heritage during complex emergencies. The goal is to work with Member States and partners to safeguard humanity’s heritage, promote peace and build resilience.

Voluntary Commitments

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
