2006年，世界遗产地管理计划开始实施，要求包括对气候变化对遗产地可能产生的影响的评估，并酌情包括缓解策略。本文主要关注英国在这些计划中制定和实施气候变化适应政策方面的进展。为检查这一复杂领域的工作而进行的研究已经确定了现场管理人员在包括和随后实施气候变化政策时面临的主要挑战。通过对所有英国世界遗产进行问卷调查，查阅相关文件，以及与广泛的专业人士进行深入访谈，收集了相关信息。研究发现，计划正在逐步更新，以纳入气候变化的考虑因素，然而，这并不总是直截了当的，计划的实施被证明是具有挑战性的。对数据可靠性和气候变化科学数据的争议性的担忧普遍存在，人们认为缺乏做出充分知情决策所需的必要信息。资源限制、对更多专业技能和指导的需求以及对该问题不同程度的兴趣和动机是其他挑战。
Abstract In 2006, a requirement came into effect for World Heritage Site management plans to include an assessment of the possible impact of climate change on the heritage site, and to include mitigation strategies as appropriate. This paper focuses on progress in the UK towards developing and implementing climate-change adaptation policies within these plans. Research undertaken to examine this complex area of work has identified key challenges faced by site managers when including and subsequently implementing climate-change policies. Information was collected through a questionnaire survey of all UK World Heritage Sites, reviews of relevant documents, and in-depth interviews with a wide range of professionals. The study found that plans are gradually being updated to include climate-change considerations, however, this is not always straightforward and plan implementation is proving challenging. Concerns about data reliability and the contested nature of scientific data on climate change are widespread, and there is a perceived lack of the necessary information to make fully informed decisions. Resource constraints, a need for more specialist skills and guidance, and differing levels of interest and motivation in the issue are other challenges.
