- <p>Changes in atmospheric parameters, such as temperature, precipitation and relative humidity, as <br>well as sea level rise, flooding and storm surge, can aggravate the chemical, biological and <br>mechanical degradation of cultural heritage leading to loss of cultural value. Despite the growing <br>body of research that examine the impacts of climate change on cultural heritage, mainly focused on <br>producing climate change risk maps at the European scale, there is an absence of data, information <br>and assessment methods available to incorporate climate change into preservation frameworks and <br>management practices from government policy level down to the practice in the field. <br>This study investigated the vulnerability and adaptation of cultural heritage sites in Europe. An indepth qualitative analysis of data collected through semi-structured interviews with academics, <br>members of governmental institutions and managers of heritage sites experts in cultural heritage <br>preservation was undertaken and complemented with the analysis of academic literature, <br>management plans, policies and grey literature. The investigated peer-reviewed literature was<br>synthesized and depicted in diagrams that can help in the understanding of climate change impacts <br>on cultural heritage. <br>An integrated vulnerability assessment methodology was developed and tested in three European <br>UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS) to help site managers and decision-makers to understand <br>the vulnerabilities of cultural heritage to climate change impacts and to allow the incorporation of<br>climate change risk assessment into the management of heritage sites. Furthermore, the perceptions <br>of experts involved in the management and preservation of cultural heritage were investigated, <br>specifically on their awareness and understanding of the impacts of climate change on heritage <br>assets, on the adaptation of cultural heritage to climate change, and on the mitigation of climate <br>change in the cultural heritage field, in Europe. <br>This research highlights the lack of dissemination of the outcomes of scientific research to <br>managers of cultural heritage in the context of vulnerability assessment and adaptation to climate <br>change impacts. A better understanding of what needs to be provided and prioritized for adaptation <br>to take place and in its strategic planning is derived from this analysis. Adapting cultural heritage to <br>climate change can be possible only if strong actions both from research and government will be <br>taken to overcome the barriers identified in this investigation. </p>
