Climate change
Our historic environment is on the front line of climate change. We need to take significant and urgent global climate action now to protect our past for the future.
The need for climate action has never been clearer. We are in a climate emergency and our historic environment is already feeling the impacts. Not only are our castles at risk of coastal erosion and our forts threatened by floods. But the historic buildings in which we live, work, learn and socialise are also under pressure. We must all make radical changes in response.
We share the Scottish Government’s vision of a Scotland that plays its part in mitigating global climate change – and which is resilient and adaptable to its impacts. And our organisation is a major player in helping to achieve these goals.
