Towards a National Heritage Climate Change Risk Assessment
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Climate change is one of the greatest threats to cultural heritage. This work develops a climate change risk assessment (CCRA) methodology, assessing large portfolios of properties spread over a wide geographic area. Climate hazards, exposure and vulnerability metrics are identified, and results from two case studies presented to highlight the application of the national CCRA. How a national CCRA fits in a wider context is discussed along with improvements and further work. This method helps understand the impact of climate change across a large estate, supports investment prioritisation and climate informed decision making to increase heritage resilience.
