AGREE explores the intricate relationship between cultural heritage governance levels, climate adaptation, and community resilience historically developed from responses to flooding catastrophes in urban contexts. It aims to:
- Advance the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) concept as a scientific basis for integrative decision-making in climate adaptation strategies
- Evaluate cultural governance’s relationship with climate adaptation in the UK, Norway and Italy at national and local levels
- Explore historic urban landscapes as dynamic and resilient laboratories to understand the interplay between cultural heritage and adaptation strategies across time through an interactive Geographic Information System (GIS) platform
- Develop a HUL-based decision-making model that advances systemic strategies for addressing climate change, identifying preconditions for its transferability, adaptability, and scalability, and factors impacting the adoption of transformative approaches
- Influence policy and decision-making and promote multi-scalar and cross-sectoral governance navigating climate change complexities through cultural heritage.
