联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会在韩国釜山举行的会议上，正式将美国乔治亚州的奥基芬诺基沼泽、中国景德镇手工瓷业遗址和韩国西部四处潮间带湿地列入世界遗产名录。[1]
奥基芬诺基沼泽因其丰富的生物多样性而获得认可，被认为是世界最大的淡水生态系统之一，并保留了5000年的环保记录。[1]景德镇遗址记录了10至19世纪中国手工瓷器生产的演变过程。[1]韩国新增的四处潮间带湿地位于瑞山、高兴、木安和丽水，因其对候鸟迁徙的重要作用而被扩展列入名录。[1]
相关人士表示，"我们接受这一题词不是作为终点线，而是作为承诺让奥基芬诺基保持野生、有韧性和繁荣。"[1]
联合国教科文组织的此次会议将持续至次周三，期间还将审议法国D-Day登陆海滩、希腊奥林匹斯山和日本古都飞鸟与藤原等其他提名地点。[1]
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization inscribed Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp onto its World Heritage List during a committee meeting held in Busan, South Korea. [1] The swamp was recognized for its exceptional biodiversity and a conservation record spanning 5,000 years, making it one of the world's largest freshwater ecosystems. [1]
The inscription came as part of a broader round of heritage designations. China's Jingdezhen Ceramic Heritage Site, documenting the evolution of hand-crafted porcelain production from the 10th to 19th centuries, also received World Heritage status. [1] Four tidal mudflat wetlands in South Korea's western regions—Seosan, Goheung, Muan, and Yeosu—were added to the list, expanding upon the country's existing four tidal wetland sites inscribed in 2021, due to their critical role in migratory bird transit routes.

Kim Bednarek stated: "We accept this designation not as a finish line, but as a commitment to keeping the Okefenokee wild, resilient and thriving." [1]
The UNESCO committee meeting in Busan continued through the following Wednesday, with additional nominations under review including France's D-Day landing beaches, Mount Olympus in Greece, and the ancient capitals of Asuka and Fujiwara in Japan. [1]
