About: Cultural heritage at risk from climate change

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Many cultural heritage sites are suffering damage or loss due to anthropogenic climate change. Causes include sea rises and coastal erosion, the increased incidence of extreme weather events such as storms and cyclones, changes in rainfall patterns, extreme periods of drought, and bushfires. Climate change is an increasing focus of cultural heritage organisations such as the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). UNESCO's List of World Cultural Heritage in Danger includes "threatening impacts of climatic, geological or other environmental factors" as a category of threat.

  • Many cultural heritage sites are suffering damage or loss due to anthropogenic climate change. Causes include sea rises and coastal erosion, the increased incidence of extreme weather events such as storms and cyclones, changes in rainfall patterns, extreme periods of drought, and bushfires. Climate change is an increasing focus of cultural heritage organisations such as the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). UNESCO's List of World Cultural Heritage in Danger includes "threatening impacts of climatic, geological or other environmental factors" as a category of threat. Sites at risk of loss or damage due to climate change are often also at risk from other social and political factors, such as war, land use and agricultural practices, and tourism. (en)
