Cultural heritage in the Italian strategy for adaptation to climate change

Cultural Heritage does not still occupy a central position in current national and international policy documents on climate change. At national level, sporadic recent attempts to integrate Cultural Heritage into the wider national and international policies have been made.

This contribution will illustrate the “Italian National Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change” focusing on the outcomes related to the cultural heritage sector. Particularly the results included within the three technical-scientific documents produced in 2014 and connected with Cultural Heritage protection will be discussed.
