Climate change

The purpose of the Working Group on Cultural Heritage and Climate Change is to exchange knowledge about what issues the cultural heritage management in the Baltic Region countries are working on – and need to work more on.

Cultural Heritage and Climate Change is a broad umbrella term. It is essential to narrow down the scope and to agree on a couple of specific topics that we can work on together. From new policies like the EUs directive on Energy efficiency, the EU Renovation Wave and New European Bauhaus, to topics such as adaptation to climate change, risks for heritage buildings and archaeology, guidelines and standards for buildings and land use. There are a lot of topics to choose from. The groundwork made in the BRHC 2021 Oslo forum could be a starting point for this discussion.
