Date: 2019-07-18

The changing climate is already affecting our lives and our heritage. The way in which we value heritage, and the mechanisms by which we seek to conserve it are also affected by climate change. This paper will explore what a changing climate means for the way heritage is perceived and conserved.  What impact will climate change have upon the heritage we value? How will our approach to conservation need to change? What can heritage contribute to our current preparations for weathering our future climate?
