UHCO, as a GEO pilot initiative led by GGO and the UNESCO WHC, will convene its community to implement actionable solutions using EO for urban heritage in the face of climate change and help GEO to address its 4 engagement priorities.


Our recently published eBook promotes and communicates the vision and strategy of UHCO to mitigate climate change risks affecting World Heritage Cities globally, aiming at safeguarding the World Heritage properties by exploiting EO data, services, and technologies.
