On 5 and 6 September 2024, the Trilateral Wadden Sea Cooperation welcomed a delegation from Laos and Vietnam, who wanted to learn about various aspects of working together for a transboundary World Heritage Site.

2024 marks the 15th anniversary of the Wadden Sea's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a celebration of shared responsibility and commitment to preserving one of the world's most precious natural wonders.

“Overcoming borders, discovering new horizons” was the title of this year's annual conference of the German and Swiss World Heritage Associations and the German and Swiss UNESCO Commissions.

The Wadden Sea World Heritage Site, a site of unparalleled natural beauty and significance, is a contender for German National Tourist Board competition for the most esteemed landmarks.

The educational programme offers an in-depth exploration of ecology, nature conservation, sustainable development, and management, specifically centered around the unique ecological context of the Wadden Sea.

The Common Wadden Sea Secretariat (CWSS) announced the renewal of the partnership with the Swiss watch manufacturer Oris at this year’s annual event themed “Change for the better” that took place on the Danish Wadden Sea island of Fanø on the 11 to 14 August.
