This volume contains contributions from over 60 authors from 20 countries exploring the importance of climate justice and equity in climate action. While focused on cultural heritage, its relevance extends into other fields including policy, just transitions, development studies, and climate adaptation. Its central message is that climate action and climate justice are inseparable in our response to the climate crisis.
Key cross-cutting themes explored in 25 contributions and ten information boxes include economic and non-economic loss and damage with a particular focus on intangible cultural heritage, the importance of plural ways of knowing and bridging different epistemologies, the intersectionality of risk, loss, and action with a particular focus on the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism and other forms of historical injustice, and the importance of community- centred approaches to climate action including climate literacy and education.
This book is targeted widely to those both within and outside of the heritage sector. It addresses themes of importance to those working in heritage practice and research, policy development and climate adaption and mitigation. It will also be of relevance to those working with communities impacted by climate change.
