Titel
Modelling climate change impact on cultural heritage the European project climate for culture
Abstract
The CLIMATE FOR CULTURE project, funded by the European Commission since 2009, will assess the damage potential of climate change on European cultural heritage, its socio-economic impact and possible mitigation strategies. Collections in historic buildings in different parts of Europe will be included for in situ investigation of contemporary problems and for the projection of future demanding issues. For this purpose, high resolution climate evolution scenarios will be coupled withwhole building simulation models to identify the most urgent risks for specific regions with the aim of developing mitigation strategies. The identified economic and substantial risks for the European cultural heritage will be communicated to policy makers together with possible mitigation strategies to be included in the future IPCC Reports.
