Tackling climate risks to the historic environment. Alongside
Historic England, the National Trust. and the Climate Heritage Network, we held a ‘Cultural Heritage: Climate Hazards, Risks and Adaptation Roundtable’ from 19-20 May. Drawing on excellent representation across the environment, climate and heritage sector, we started to develop a methodological framework to understand how to build climate resilience into management decisions for historic environments. Vice Chancellor Robert Van de Noort addressed the workshop and contributed archaeological expertise. We will keep you posted as this important work develops. More on our blog here.
