Mitigation And Adaptation

In the face of anthropogenic climate change, the management of cultural heritage must change the world over, in order to adapt historic places to the resulting impacts. Concepts for climate change mitigation and adaptation are well developed, but their application specifically in the context of the historic environment is limited. The number of methods and tools to assess the risks of climate change impacts on historic places and the vulnerabilities of these places to these risks is still small. In this article, three assessment methods will be discussed, which were developed through projects in Northern Europe: Cultural and Heritage Added Value to Regional Policies for Tourism and Sustainability (CHARTS) disseminated a risk and vulnerability assessment to investigate the impacts of climate change on the historic environment of Wales. The Aurland project, in Norway, piloted a site-specific assessment method through local and expert input. Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is reviewing its portfolio of historic places with a novel impact assessment and mapping method, using a geographical information system (GIS). This article discusses the differences of the approaches chosen by the projects to assess climate change impacts and plan adaptation measures. The article concludes with outlining a recently started project, Adapt Northern Heritage, involving HES and two Aurland partners, Riksantikvaren and the Norsk institute for kulturminneforskning, as well as Minjastofnun Íslands.

Vulnerability To Climate Change

Climate change (CC) and their related impacts become clearer and significantly affect socio-economic fields as well as public health. Accordingly, the assessment of vulnerability to CC becomes necessary and is the basis for the formulation of measures to enhance the adaptive capacity and to mitigate CC effects. This work aims to review the situation of research and assessment of vulnerability; especially approaches and assessment methods, serving establishing methodology of vulnerability assessment due to CC for concerned industries, sectors, areas, and objects.
