The day was proposed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) in 1982 and was first observed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1983. A theme is announced each year by ICOMOS to give a shape to the annual observations of World Heritage Day, and this year (2022) the theme of the day is “Heritage and Climate”.
