This year’s Cemex book volume is presented in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Conservation International, and The WILD Foundation. Through the World Heritage Convention, UNESCO has successfully promoted international cooperation to protect the exceptional cultural and natural value of World Heritage sites for current and future generations, so that they—unlike the seven wonders of the ancient world—are conserved for all time.
As one of the industry’s leading companies in areas of environmental protection and land conservation, Cemex says it fully recognises the need to protect the outstanding universal value of World Heritage sites. Recognising that nothing must impinge their settings and buffer zones, Cemex says it is also committed to building awareness of natural World Heritage sites and helping to promote and develop a culture of appreciation and respect for nature among its stakeholders and, by extension, the global community.
