European Partnership for Resilient Cultural Heritage

Project description

Safeguarding cultural heritage against climate change

Climate change presents a severe threat to global cultural heritage, accelerating the degradation of historic monuments and eroding archaeological sites. However, cultural heritage also holds vital keys to climate action, thus mitigating the societal impacts of climate change. The EU-funded RCH project will drive cutting-edge cultural heritage research to develop actionable mitigation, adaptation and risk management tools. By pairing innovative solutions with active training and dissemination, it will ensure valuable cultural heritage is preserved and successfully passed down to future generations. The ultimate goal is to drive Europe towards a sustainable, climate-neutral and resilient future.

Objective

Climate change is a global challenge that severely impacts cultural heritage, nevertheless, cultural heritage can provide responses to and help limit the effects of climate change on society. The Partnership for Resilient Cultural Heritage will strengthen research on cultural heritage to develop and promote, through dissemination and capacity building activities, innovative solutions, assessment systems, adaptation and mitigation strategies and risk management models, for transmitting cultural heritage to future generations. The aim is to make Europe more resilient and climate neutral.
