CHN leaders in Brazil advocated tirelessly for culture-based climate solutions at #COP30. Moussa Elimane Sall took a moment to reflect on his experience with a call to action to leverage this momentum to insist "Climate action without culture is incomplete." www.linkedin.com/pulse/chn-fr...

Starting now: Culture, Heritage, and Climate Change! 🔗 us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

"The only space dedicated to culture inside the Blue Zone might be covered in ashes but our steadfast commitment to put culture at the heart of climate action remains strong." @samuelrubinv.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DRS14dmDW2...

I am not in Brazil but I can gratefully confirm that the @climateheritage.bsky.social team on the ground there is safe. #cop30

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
