Climate Change and Heritage

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in global weather patterns caused mainly by increased greenhouse gases from human activities, leading to rising temperatures and environmental impacts. Heritage encompasses cultural and historical sites, artifacts, and traditions that define our collective identity. Climate change threatens these treasures through rising sea levels, extreme weather, and environmental degradation, risking irreversible damage. Protecting heritage in the face of climate change requires awareness, adaptation, and sustainable practices to preserve our cultural legacy for future generations while addressing the urgent environmental challenges.
