What is the official theme for World Heritage Day 2025?

World Heritage Day, formally known as the International Day for Monuments and Sites, is observed annually on April 18th to promote awareness about preserving world heritage sites and monuments. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) established this observance in 1982, which received UNESCO's General Assembly approval in 1983. The official theme for 2025 is "Heritage under Threat from Disasters and Conflicts: Preparedness and Learning from 60 years of ICOMOS Actions," highlighting the challenges faced by cultural heritage sites in areas affected by natural disasters and human conflicts.
