Heritage embodies systems of knowledge, design, and stewardship that have long supported sustainable ways of living. As societies pursue energy transitions and systemic decarbonization, these cultural resources can inform more equitable and locally grounded mitigation and adaptation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Heritage and Resilience: Safeguarding Culture and Community in a Changing Climate<\/strong> explores how cultural heritage\u2014both tangible and intangible\u2014can strengthen resilience while contributing to just and inclusive climate transitions. The session brings together voices from heritage conservation, academia, and community practice to share examples of how traditional knowledge, local craftsmanship, and place-based practices intersect with modern sustainability and energy goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By recognizing heritage as both a source of wisdom and innovation, the discussion highlights how preserving culture can help reimagine climate solutions that honor the past while shaping a resilient, low-carbon future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speakers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Welcome and moderation &#8211; Lori Ferris, Architecture2030, Climate Heritage Network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ave Paulus, ICOMOS, ICOMOS Activities and Heritage Adapts Campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Meredith Wiggins, WMF<\/strong>, <strong>Rehabilitation of traditional water systems for urban resilience and water security <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kotchakorn Voraakhom, UNESCO Juror<\/strong>.
