Coastal Communities in Transition

气候变化对文化遗产构成严重威胁，包括传统知识，以及定义我们的身份和历史的习俗。国际气候议程往往忽视当地社区的文化遗产，特别是面临高度气候风险的沿海社区。SEA-CCChange是一项为期三年的研究计划，旨在探索沿海社区如何在其文化遗产的背景下感知和适应气候变化，以及这如何为气候缓解和适应提供信息。在气候和文化遗产的讨论中，多样化的叙述和当地社区的遗产往往被忽视，导致代表性不足和弱势社区被排除在气候政策之外。SEA-CCChange试图通过审查三个关键方面来改变这一点：1.评估气候变化对文化遗产构成的有形风险，将这些风险与社区对它们的看法进行对比。2.通过讨论和访谈，调查遗产做法如何适应时代的变化；探索从多个角度出现的紧张关系和意想不到的结果。3.(在开放获取的档案中)记录在气候变化期间遗产是如何生活和实践的，并寻求合作的解决方案，考虑到什么已经丢失、改变、有价值，以及什么可以恢复。SEA-CCChange专注于六个国际案例，包括爱尔兰、英国、荷兰、印度尼西亚和加勒比海的沿海社区。该联盟的合作伙伴涉及广泛的跨学科和跨学科主题和社会合作伙伴，涉及地方政府、研究政策、公民科学、渔业和区域文化遗产，他们将共同合作，形成一个关于沿海社区经验的社会生态档案，并促进影响和推广，让他们的声音被听到。通过将文化遗产和气候变化研究联系起来，SEA-CCChange旨在保护遗产，接受多样化的叙事，并在面对气候变化时为明智的政策决策做出贡献。

Climate change poses a serious threat to cultural heritage, including traditional knowledge, and practices that define our identity and history. International climate agendas often neglect the cultural heritage of local communities, in particular coastal communities who are facing high climate risk. SEA-CCHange, a three-year research program, aims to explore how coastal communities perceive and adapt to climate change in the context of their cultural heritage and how this can inform climate mitigation and adaptation. In the climate and cultural heritage discussion, diverse narratives and local community heritage are often overlooked, leading to underrepresentation and vulnerable communities being left out of climate policy.SEA-CCHange seeks to change this by examining three critical aspects: 1. Assessing the physical risks posed by climate change to cultural heritage, contrasting these risks with how communities perceive them. 2. Investigating how heritage practices adapt during changing times through discussions and interviews; exploring the tensions and unexpected outcomes that emerge from multiple perspectives. 3. Documenting (in an open- access archive) how heritage is lived and practiced during climate change and seeking colaborative solutions that consider what's been lost, changed, valued, and what can be recovered. SEA-CCHange focuses on six international cases, including coastal communities in Ireland, UK, the Netherlands, Indonesia, and the Caribbean. The consortium partners span a wide range of inter- and transdisciplinary topics and societal partners that span local government, research policy, citizen science, fisheries and regional cultural heritage, who wil colaborate to forma socio-ecological archive on/for the coastal community experience and promote impact and outreach to have their voices heard. By bridging cultural heritage and climate change research, SEA-CCHange aims to safeguard heritage, embrace diverse narratives, and contribute to informed policy decisions in the face of climate change.
