Identification of Climate Hazard and Climate Change Adaptation Resources
Author(s): JBA Consulting
This report outlines findings related to identifying climate hazard resources relevant to safeguarding heritage sites against the impacts of climate change. It details the development of a data catalogue, identifies a wide range of tools and datasets that can support adaptation to climate change impacts on heritage sites, evaluates climate change risk assessment (CCRA) methodologies suitable for the heritage sector, and proposes ways to present this information effectively to both internal and external stakeholders. It highlights the datasets and tools available now, as well as key information gaps and the need for accessible tools that cater to different stakeholders within the heritage sector. The work underscores the critical role of Historic England in leading the move towards a more resilient heritage sector, capable of facing the challenges posed by a changing climate by both informing others on suitable approaches and resources, and assessing risks at a strategic, national level. The report emphasises collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the use of tools and data sets to enhance resilience and inform decision making processes regarding the protection of cultural heritage from climate risks.
