From: Integrating science and the arts to deglobalise climate change adaptation

The initial sketch focused on iconographical examples of cultural heritage. Following the development of the initial sketch, the team realised that whilst cultural heritage is often visualised through physical infrastructure, the importance of cultural heritage is the role it can play in the resilience and cohesion of local communities. By working with the artist, we shifted the focus to the intangible aspect or the thread that forms the foundation of local communities’ identity and can make them more resilient to climate change. © All rights reserved.
