The twin climate change and biodiversity crises are defining challenges of our time. Responding to them requires a comprehensive treatment of climate change in cultural policy and of culture and heritage in climate policy. A growing consensus holds that culture and heritage are at risk from climate impacts but also assets in climate action. And yet there is still little consensus as to what the key goals of culture-climate policy should be or how best to achieve them – especially at scales commensurate with the urgency and scope of the climate crisis. Through this session, Climate Heritage Network seeks to advance understanding of how cultural policies can best help tackle these global challenges, and to build consensus as to priorities. The session will start with the thesis that the aim of culture-climate policy should be empowering people to imagine and realise low-carbon, climate resilient futures. It will emphasise the strong linkages between sustainable development goals like poverty eradication and promoting health and well-being and 1.5 °C climate adaptation and mitigation pathways. It will also address the question of what cultural policy best advances this aim, taking account of the fact that culture is both part of the cause of climate change and part of the response. The session will, hence, explore useful elements of culture-climate policy frameworks in order to aid operators in designing more specific culture-based adaptation, resilience, disaster risk reduction, safeguarding, and mitigation measures.
