Tender for Cultural Heritage and Climate Change Portfolio Consultantion

我们如何才能做出研究，让文化声音成为未来气候规划的重要组成部分？最初的AHRC/DCMS团队在2020年授予了9项赠款，这项研究表明，文化需要成为气候解决方案的核心。九个合作研究项目展示了文化遗产--无论是物质遗产还是非物质遗产--如何将遗址、仪式、习俗、社区和建筑与自然环境联系在一起的各种不同的方式。他们还展示了艺术的价值，通过它，人类在创意产业中产生情感、感官和社会反应，这些创意产业建立了维持人、地方和环境的经济。在这项拟议的研究咨询中，我们将探索从文化遗产和气候变化组合中学习如何解决在理解规划和适应气候变化方面的重要差距。现有范围内形成的办法和方法对于维持和加强文化遗产研究对当前和未来气候变化辩论的影响具有重要意义：全球南北合作；向最脆弱群体学习并与之合作；吸收土著研究人员和研究方法；确定物质/非物质文化遗产与气候、自然和正义的相互依存关系；致力于通过提高所有人(政策制定者、教育工作者、研究人员、文化遗产组织、当地社区、艺术家)适应和提高复原力并减少脆弱性的技术能力，加强全球应对气候变化的努力；高度重视实现变化的必要性。该研究咨询公司的总体目标是向AHRC和DCMS提供建议，说明当前/扩大的投资组合如何在未来的气候规划中增加文化遗产研究的价值和影响，方法是确定新的研究领域，为未来的战略提供信息，并就未来资金机会的潜在形式和结构提供建议。我们将通过追求以下目标来实现这一目标：-调查投资组合的潜力--(A)评估现有项目的影响(在九项赠款的队列内，但也在更广泛的AHRC响应和主题模式项目组合中)；确定新兴和研究不足的领域(地缘政治领域以及物质和非物质文化遗产的不同美学形式和社会历史结构)--确定文化遗产和气候变化研究可以涉及的相关政策领域，包括：研究兴趣领域、政府部门的优先领域以及相关的所有缔约方议会团体和对未来缔约方会议议程的贡献。--指出在联合王国/国际上与气候变化和文化遗产有关的需要研究的关键社会挑战(例如，身心健康；移民；建议AHRC/DCMS承担将文化遗产研究纳入气候规划和解决方案主流的战略责任的下一步行动。

How can we produce research that makes cultural voices an essential part of climate planning for the future?The research produced by the original AHRC/DCMS cohort of nine grants awarded in 2020 has shown that culture needs to be at the heart of climate solutions. Nine collaborative research projects have demonstrated the diverse and disparate ways in which cultural heritage - both tangible and intangible - interconnects sites, rituals, customs, communities and buildings with the natural environment. They have also shown the value of the arts as a means by which humans produce emotional, sensual and social responses within creative industries that build economies which sustain people, places and environments.In this proposed research consultancy, we will explore how learning from the Cultural Heritage and Climate Change Portfolio can address important gaps in understanding the planning for and adaptation to climate change. Approaches and methodologies that have emerged from within the current Portfolio will be important to sustain and build the impact of cultural heritage research on current and future climate change debates: Global North/South collaborations; learning from and working with the most vulnerable humans; inclusion of Indigenous researchers and research methods; identification of the interdependencies of tangible/non-tangible cultural heritage with climate, nature and justice; commitment to strengthening the global response to climate change by increasing the technical ability of all (policy makers, educators, researchers, cultural heritage organisations, local communities, artists) to adapt and build resilience, and reduce vulnerability; a sharp focus on the necessity to make change happen. The overall aim of this research consultancy is to provide AHRC and DCMS with recommendations about how the current/expanded portfolio can increase the value and impact of research on cultural heritage within climate planning for the future, by identifying emerging research areas to inform future strategy and advising on the potential shape and structure of future funding opportunities. We will achieve this through pursuing the following objectives:- Investigate the potential of the portfolio - (a) Assess the impacts of existing projects (within the cohort of nine grants but also beyond in the wider AHRC portfolio of responsive and thematic modes projects); (b) Identify emerging and under-researched areas (geopolitical areas as well as different aesthetic forms and socio-historic structures of tangible and non-tangible cultural heritage)- Identify relevant policy areas that cultural heritage and climate change research can address including: Areas of Research Interest (ARIs), Priority areas for Government Departments as well as relevant All Party Parliamentary Groups and contribution to the agenda of future COPs.- Indicate key social challenges that need to be researched in relation to climate change and cultural heritage in the UK/internationally (e.g. mental and physical health; migration; food security etc.)- Propose next steps for AHRC/DCMS to take on the strategic responsibility to bring research on Cultural Heritage into the mainstream of climate planning and solutions.
