Abstract (in English)

The heritage sector has developed a wide range of tools to assess risk and vulnerability in recent years. The Preserving Legacies framework is similar to many of these; however, it also diverges in key areas. Specifically, it takes a broad values-based approach which understands that assessing climate risk to heritage values can be a different (but related) question to assessing risk to heritage fabric/attributes. It does not assume or place a hierarchy on these values or assume that existing inventories represent a complete picture of a community’s heritage. Rather, it is community-led, working with partners to define key areas of concern. It also takes a broader spatial approach acknowledging that climate impacts are not restricted to prescribed site boundaries. While great value is placed on downscaled climate models, the Preserving Legacies Framework places equal value on plural knowledge systems which it incorporates broadly across its understanding of hazards, vulnerabilities, exposures and responses. The Preserving Legacies Framework is locally led and facilitated by project colleagues and partners who are implementing the framework following intensive training and knowledge exchange within the project, backed by a global Community of Practice, leading to targeted, sustainable and locally appropriate adaptation actions. These actions, coupled with inspiring storytelling, aim to join up to broader adaptation efforts and inspire more ambitious climate action.
