Collaborate for climate Event

Collaborate for Climate

In this online event, recorded in December 2021, we explore the value of collaboration in combatting the climate crisis, asking; how can cultural heritage play its part?

As we look to build a future that is more sustainable, equitable and ecological, we investigate the role that heritage can play in developing strategies and practical frameworks to support our fight to protect the planet.
In this session we bring together 3 heritage specialists working to unite efforts within and beyond the sector, to discuss the importance of networks and partnerships in their work.
Understanding that the health of people, wildlife and the environment are all deeply intertwined, we explore how we can learn from other sectors to support our mutual aims.

Global Heritage Perspectives - Rebalancing Needs (3/5)

Successful heritage preservation projects often require the careful balancing of different – and sometimes rival – needs and priorities.
In this session we explore heritage preservation projects where the differing needs of people, the environment and wildlife collide, and explore the approaches taken to rebalance these urgencies.
In a period of fast-paced change within the heritage field, we talk with those working to address evolving issues, re-positioning their approaches to heritage management and looking to new and innovative methodologies to achieve their aims.
