Résumé en anglais
Agendas to reduce the risks associated with climate change and increase resilience to impacts have become rather inclusive in the types of social effects they consider. They also acknowledge their embeddedness in socio-ecological networks, geographies, and scales. Heritage, like many other semantically rich social and cultural notions, is both underrepresented and underspecified in climate change policy assessments. It is, therefore, important, beyond merely recognising the importance of heritage, to keep sketching out how this importance looks in practice and how it can connect to policy assessment. In this paper and accompanying talk, we overview our ongoing research work to clarify two complementary aspects: the benefits of heritage within the exposure and vulnerability structure of seven living socioecological systems and the monetary added value of UNESCO inscription in the eurozone’s regional economies.
