Feng Jing/ 景峰
CHIEF OF UNIT
Mr Feng JING (景 峰) was educated in English literature, international relations and the history of architecture at Lanzhou University and Tsinghua University of China, from which he also holds a Doctorate degree in the history and theory of architecture. For the past thirty years, his career has combined professional experience in heritage management and international cooperation for culture . He has directed and managed the implementation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention and other major World Heritage conservation projects throughout the l of Asia and the Pacific, from the perspective of both the States Parties (as a member of the World Heritage Committee between 1992 and 1997) and the Secretariat (as a member of staff at the World Heritage Centre since 1997).
Mr JING is currently Chief of the Asia and the Pacific Unit at UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre (Paris), where he is responsible for the implementation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention in 47 countries. He also heads the UNESCO Culture Sector’s programme activities for tangible heritage in the Asia and the Pacific region and other associated World Heritage programmes in 15 Field Offices. In addition, Dr JING serves as Coordinator of Capacity-Building programme for the World Heritage Convention, the UNESCO Director-General’s representative to the Governing Board of the World Heritage Category 2 Centres under the auspices of UNESCO and UNESCO Chairs in the Asia and the Pacific Region. He is also Coordinator of the Silk Roads World Heritage nomination project since 2003 and Focal Point of the World Heritage Programme for Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
Mr JING has published and co-authored some 30 publications and some 60 articles and reports on World Heritage, inter-cultural dialogue, sustainable development and UNESCO. His PhD dissertation “Research on the Serial Transnational World Heritage Nomination of the Silk Roads Cultural Route” was published in 2015 by China Science Press (Beijing) and reprinted in June 2019. His PhD research focused on the review of UNESCO’s culture policy, the evolution of the concept of cultural heritage, particularly heritage route, and the impacts on the World Heritage system. The case study research, focused on the conceptualization of the serial transnational World Heritage nomination process of the Silk Roads, is significant in understanding this new trend in World Heritage conservation.
