Co-developing resilience strategies for churches and their communities

这项研究是曼彻斯特廷德尔中心的一名研究人员与英格兰圣公会大教堂和教堂建筑部(CCB)共同主持的。它致力于确定、整理和传播英格兰圣公会16,000多座教堂和其他遗产建筑中的一些教堂和其他遗产建筑及其更广泛的社区所采用的成功的气候适应战略。寻找在实地取得成效的例子，以及这些行动对更广泛的社区的影响。英格兰国教目前拥有完善的工具和资源，用于气候变化缓解战略，但在适应和恢复能力方面尚未如此。教堂建筑及其所在的社区越来越面临与气候有关的变化和极端天气事件的风险。这项计划将为这个组织和数千个独立教会提供所需的信息，以(1)保护他们的教会建筑和(2)利用该建筑来增强社区气候适应性。这将通过三个工作包来完成。这第一个(确定教会和社区气候适应和复原力的故事)将使研究人员了解教会面临的气候风险。它将通过全面的文献回顾和收集来自英国各地教堂的案例研究来做到这一点；教堂建筑本身处于危险之中的例子和所需的适应措施(例如，防止洪水泛滥、石工破坏)，以及教会在危险地区创造社区气候弹性的例子(例如，防止洪水泛滥、过热)。第二个项目(以教会为中心的气候复原力联合制作)以此为基础，通过与当地利益相关者和教区工作人员举办一系列共同制作的研讨会，以这些发现为基础，并确保这项工作的结果反映出它正在为哪个社区提供指导。第三，(指导创建和报告)将利用这些发现来创建内部指导说明，这将积极有助于CCB的工作，并为英格兰教会更广泛的环境计划和创建新的在线资源做出贡献。指导说明和学术论文将通过其他遗产和信仰机构以及学术期刊更广泛地传播。该项目有一个广泛的传播计划，并将能够通过英格兰圣公会、教区工作人员的区域研讨会、会议和网站/社交媒体分享新的研究成果(以简短的案例研究、在线资源和视频的形式)。全国各地的教会和社区将提高气候知识和能力，以便在其社区采取新的气候变化适应和适应方法。随着英国国教继续在全国范围内推广环境问题，这项工作将是其中的关键部分，该项目有数千名潜在受众

This research is a collaboration between a researcher from the Tyndall Centre in Manchester and hosted by the Church of England's Cathedral and Church Buildings Division (CCB). It is concerned with identifying, collating, and disseminating successful climate adaptation strategies adopted by some of the Church of England's over 16,000 churches and other heritage buildings, and by their wider communities. Finding examples of what has worked on the ground, and the wider community impact of these actions.The Church of England currently has a well-developed tools and resources for climate change mitigation strategies, however this is not yet true for adaption and resilience. Church buildings and the communities in which they are based are increasingly at risk from climate related changes and extreme weather events. This project will equip this organisation as well as thousands of individual churches with the information they need to (1) protect their church building and (2) utilise the building to enhance community climate resilience.This will be done through three work packages. This first (Identifying Church and Community Climate Adaptation and Resilience Stories) will develop the researchers understanding of the climate risk that the church faces. It will do this through a comprehensive literature review and gathering case studies from churches around the UK; examples in which the church building itself is at risk and required adaptation measures (e.g. protection against flooding, stonework damage) and examples where the church creates community climate resilience in at-risk areas (e.g. protection from flooding, over-heating). The second (Co-Production of Church Centred Climate Resilience) builds on this through a series of co-productive workshops with local stakeholders and diocese workers to build on these finding and ensure the outputs of this work reflects the communities it is producing guidance for.Thirdly (Guidance Creation and Reporting) will utilise these findings to create internal guidance notes that will actively contribute to the work of the CCB as well as contributing to the Church of England's wider environmental plan and creating new online resources. Guidance notes and academic papers will be disseminated more widely through other heritage and faith bodies, as well as academic journals. This project has an extensive dissemination plan and will be able to share new research (in the form of short case studies, online resources, and videos) through the Church of England, through regional workshops with diocesan staff, conferences, and website / social media. Churches and communities around the country will increase climate literacy and capacity to undertake new approaches to climate change resilience and adaptation in their community. This project has a potential audience of thousands as the Church of England continues to promote environmental issues, of which this work would be a key part, across the country
