Protect cultural heritage from hydroclimatic extreme events: learnings from Africa and Balkans

Stakeholders, experts, researchers, and students in the field of the Water(hydro)-Climate-Cultural Heritage Nexus will discuss innovative and concrete strategies to protect cultural and natural heritage from the growing impacts of climate change and, in particular, from extreme hydro-climatic events such as storms, floods, and droughts. The discussion will explore how this challenge of protecting cultural and natural heritage from extreme events affects communities in Europe and Africa, through the presentation of case studies from the Balkans and African regions, and will reflect on possible actions to be taken to strengthen resilience on this issue.
