More than 70 international experts from 42 countries across the world, gathered for an in-depth reflection over two days to consider ways to measure cultural heritage in the context of climate change – both with regard to the significant threat that climate change poses for all types of tangible and intangible cultural heritage as well as natural heritage. Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, delivered the keynote address, underscoring the need to protect cultural heritage from growing climate threats and to leverage cultural knowledge, especially from local and farming communities, for climate action. During the two-day workshop, several roundtables were held to discuss why measuring culture in climate change and what to measure as well as to reflect on the ongoing international efforts and initiatives regarding the measurement of Culture in Climate Change. “Heritage and culture and climate change is not just about stopping damage to heritage activities — it’s about showing how heritage can actively contribute to reducing the impact of climate change.”Summary Report Download the summary report.
