Globally, cultural heritage is on the front line of anthropogenic climate change. Therefore, it could be argued that climate change should now be a primary lens through which cultural heritage conservation and management are viewed. We argue that addressing the growing and compounding risks and impacts of climate change requires a fundamental rethink and transformation of cultural heritage management and policy. In this article, we propose a climate-smart cultural heritage (CSCH) approach that captures the notion that climate adaptation can be developed and implemented within the heritage sector to simultaneously reduce the impacts of changing climate and variability on tangible and intangible cultural heritage and provide co-benefits for climate change mitigation while also enhancing human security at different spatial scales. The CSCH is an integrated approach to implementing forward-looking and transformative cultural heritage management and policy and is not a new set of practices to be advocated to cultural heritage stakeholders and decision-makers. Findings also demonstrate that institutional mechanisms such as multi-stakeholder planning, increased awareness of the economic, social, and environmental benefits of diverse cultural heritage, improved cross-sectoral coordination and communication, strong political will for transformative approaches, and investments in CSCH are necessary for implementation of CSCH.

迈向气候智能型文化遗产管理

在全球范围内，文化遗产处于人为气候变化的最前线。因此，可以说气候变化现在应该成为审视文化遗产保护和管理的主要视角。我们认为，应对气候变化日益增长和复杂的风险和影响需要对文化遗产管理和政策进行根本性的重新思考和转变。在本文中，我们提出了一种气候智能型文化遗产（CSCH）方法，该方法抓住了这样一个概念，即可以在遗产部门内制定和实施气候适应措施，以同时减少气候变化和变异性对物质和非物质文化遗产的影响，并提供减缓气候变化的共同效益，同时也加强不同空间尺度的人类安全。CSCH 是实施前瞻性和变革性文化遗产管理和政策的综合方法，并不是向文化遗产利益相关者和决策者提倡的一套新做法。研究结果还表明，多方利益相关者规划、提高对多元文化遗产的经济、社会和环境效益的认识、改善跨部门协调和沟通、对变革方法的强烈政治意愿以及对 CSCH 的投资等体制机制是必要的用于实施CSCH。
