They offer a unique opportunity to explore and exchange effective and sustainable solutions to contemporary issues, such as climate change, migration, integration, conflict and many others.

For the first time, this publication presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive work concerning Transnational UNESCO World Heritage sites in Africa, reflecting the interdisciplinary and forward-looking approaches that have dominated research and conservation methodologies in recent decades.
