Climate Emergency ‘Deep Dive’
This event addresses the climate emergency societal challenge by bringing people together from different communities of interest to discuss the state of the challenge in 2024, the work that the heritage science sector is already doing to address the climate emergency, and gaps to be addressed by future research.
The National Heritage Science Forum (NHSF) has identified five societal challenges to inspire and encourage connections between heritage science research and five issues of importance to society.
One of these challenges is the climate emergency. For the heritage science sector, the challenge is to:
“Collaborate with environmental science and social science to both extend our understanding of the impact of a changing climate on heritage whilst also using knowledge derived from the study of heritage assets to address the climate emergency and deliver progress against the UK’s net zero targets.”
This deep dive event picks up that challenge by bringing people together from different communities of interest to discuss the state of the challenge in 2024, the work that the heritage science sector is already doing to address the climate emergency, and gaps to be addressed by future research.
