15th Trilateral Governmental Conference on the Protection of the Wadden Sea
mei 27 - mei 29
The 15th Trilateral Governmental Conference on the Protection of the Wadden Sea marks the handover of the presidency from Denmark to the Netherlands, representing an important step in the shared management of this single World Heritage Site.
The event brings together partners, experts, and decision-makers from across the Wadden Sea region for three days of programme sessions, events, and opportunities for professional exchange. Under the theme “Protection through Recognition,” the conference emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the Outstanding Universal Value of the Wadden Sea and the collective responsibility of the three cooperating countries. A key outcome will be the adoption of a new declaration guiding the future direction and ambitions of the Trilateral Wadden Sea Cooperation. The Wadden Sea is the largest unbroken tidal flats system in the world, where natural processes proceed largely undisturbed. It extends along the coasts of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. For its globally unique geological and ecological values the Wadden Sea is listed by UNESCO as World Heritage. Nowhere else in the world is there such a dynamic landscape with a multitude of habitats, shaped by wind and tides. Global biodiversity is reliant on the Wadden Sea. In the framework of the Trilateral Wadden Sea Cooperation, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands take on the responsibility of preserving this irreplaceable ecosystem for the benefit of present and future generations.
