Description

Maritime Greenwich is located along the bank of the River Thames in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London, United Kingdom. It has been a World Heritage Site since 1997. The site contains a rich royal history, with various heritage buildings in Royal Greenwich Park, including the Royal Observatory, the Queen’s House, and the Old Royal Naval College. Maritime Greenwich has a significant impact on the world. The most important one is the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It used to be the standard time worldwide. Although it has now been replaced by UTC, it is still being used in the UK, e.g. Royal Navy. The Greenwich Park is beautiful in the city. It provides a great environment for people to enjoy the view and appreciate the surrounding heritages. Maritime Greenwich's technological interpretation will address Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Goal 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
