Connecting Culture and Climate Action
ICOMOS believes that culture is a missing link in climate action. Cultural heritage tells our collective human story, while cultural change has been at the heart of every major transition in human history. Culture is intimately linked to the past and present of climate change—and it can be central to how we address this collective challenge.
Our Mission
The ICOMOS Climate Action Working Group is committed to seeing meaningful and sustainable climate action to protect global cultural heritage. Through education, training and knowledge exchange, the CAWG envisions a world where all heritage professionals are equipped to respond to the challenges of climate change in a people-centered and place-based way, centered on principles of climate justice and equity.
