Climate Risk Assessment for the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site

This report describes outcomes from a workshop in Orkney, Scotland (April 2019) to apply the Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI). 

The CVI is a new methodology developed to rapidly assess climate impacts - both to Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and the associated ‘community’ (local, domestic and international) - for all types of World Heritage properties (natural, cultural or mixed). In its first application to a cultural World Heritage property, the CVI process was undertaken for the ‘Heart of Neolithic Orkney’ (HONO).
