About the project
Did you know that heritage organisations are key actors in climate dialogue to inspire behavioral changes and action? DACCHE brings together seven partners from five countries dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and adaptation of important heritage sites.
Our aim
To empower local communities by building their capacity to understand, respond, and mitigate the impacts of climate change on vulnerable cultural landscapes and heritage. This involves visualizing local impacts on sites, landscapes, artifacts, and intangible practices through storytelling and digital solutions. Additionally, the project also engages in some instances of ecosystem restoration for climate mitigation, aiming to reconstitute past cultural landscapes and create new visitor experiences.
Project motivation
The NPA region is particularly vulnerable to climate change due to its heavy reliance on nature, proximity to the Arctic, and fragile local economies and poses a threat to cultural heritage, including landscapes and traditions. The importance of preserving and renewing is a strong motivator for action, and heritage plays a crucial role in encouraging people to engage in action.
Target Group
Our focus at DACCHE is to establish a dialogue and collaborate with people and organisations in the NPA regions, with a special emphasis on youth. We aim to engage with diverse entities, including regional and national public authorities, sectoral agencies, interest groups (including NGOs), higher education and research organizations, education/training centers and schools, SMEs, and business support organizations. If you're part of any of these groups and have questions or ideas, feel free to get in touch!
