Highlights from the cultural heritage presentation at today’s 3rd UNFCCC UAE-Belém work programme on adaptation indicators expert meeting in Bonn. Heritage is a gap in existing indicators which must be filled to scale up adaptation of our heritage to climate change. #HACA #ClimateHeritage #GGA

It would be a useful exercise for the cultural heritage community to estimate the current value of loss and damage to culture & heritage from climate change and then commute the allocable share of that damage to each of these 122 responsible parties. #ClimateHeritage

📣Heritage & climate adaptation alert: the UAE-Belem Work Programme on adaptation indicators is entering an intense phase in advance of June's #SB62 where draft indicators (incl for measuring progress in adapting heritage sites & cultural practices) are expected to be finalized🧵 #ClimateHeritage #GGA

Many bright spots where the power of arts, culture, and heritage to catalyze climate action seems implicitly referenced. What stood out to you? 1/4 #climateheritage #cop30 cop30.br/en/brazilian...

A valuable point from #ClimateHeritage Network on #InternationalWomensDay: “One key gender-differentiated impact of climate change is the risk of loss to intangible heritage incl traditional ecological knowledge, for which women are the custodians in many cultures” 🎯 🔗 www.climateheritage.org/women

Women can be powerful agents of change and drivers of #climateaction. Creating more opportunities for women is critical for developing effective and equitable strategies for responding to climate change. #InternationalWomensDay www.climateheritage.org/women

Jan. 23 is World Endangered Writing Day. Writing systems hold many ways of seeing and being in the world. "We" in the quote below is those who write primarily in the Latin alphabet, which= me, so I'll be finding ways to observe and learn. #ClimateHeritage www.endangeredwriting.world

Thoughtful piece from @koslov.bsky.social. The LA fires are our newest reminder of the need to learn other ways to live in the world, that retreating individually and as we have been doing (esp. from flooding) will not bring safety. #LandscapeLearning www.nytimes.com/2025/01/19/o...

As part of the @climateheritage.bsky.social's @mellon.org-funded "Future of our Pasts" project, Preserving Legacies launched the #HeritageAdapts Community Leaders Circle, supporting locally-led adaptation for heritage pilots in 6 US frontline communities. www.climateheritage.org/imaginingfut...

🧵 I find myself ISO the opportunity to talk to #climatehertiage colleagues about the LA Fires and what lessons they teach about where the US historic preservation movement needs to go next on climate change. I’m opening this thread to see if there are others interested in discussing the topic ...
