The European Partnership for Resilient Cultural Heritage (RCH) runs this European Commission-supported joint transnational call. Funding organisations and ministries from 25 countries participate alongside the European Union to support research, innovation and cooperation that strengthen cultural heritage preservation in the face of climate change. The call promotes innovative adaptation and mitigation solutions and demonstrates cultural heritage’s role in collective resilience.
Proposals must address at least one of four sub-themes:
- Risk and impact assessment, cultural heritage risk preparedness and management.
- Loss and damage from climate change-induced natural hazards.
- Traditional, local and Indigenous knowledge systems and practices for societal climate resilience.
- Sustainable governance of the cultural heritage sector.
