The Landscape Convention

The Landscape Convention is an international agreement that encourages countries to protect, manage, and plan their landscapes—such as natural areas, cultural sites, and urban environments—because they are vital for well-being, identity, and environmental health. It promotes understanding that landscapes are dynamic and valuable, involving communities in preserving them sustainably. The convention aims to foster a balanced approach that respects cultural heritage while supporting development, ensuring landscapes are appreciated, maintained, and accessible for current and future generations.
