This Programme has been welcomed by the CBD COP 10 in Nagoya which recognized the Programme as 'useful coordination mechanism to advance the implementation of the Convention and deepen global awareness of the inter-linkages betweencultural and biological diversity'.
The Platform explored the intrinsic linkagesbetween world heritage and intangible cultural heritage, which is embedded in the living tradition of the city and which drives Kyoto's community engagement and deliberate commitment towards disaster-risk prevention in the future.
