It is my pleasure to invite you to participate virtually in the "U.S. Climate Heritage in the International Context," a one-day conference on Friday, October 4, 2024, from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. ET. 

In light of the first multi-agency (ACHP) U.S. federal policy statements on Climate Change and Historic Preservation and on Indigenous Knowledge and Historic Preservation, this conference will focus on how federal preservation and cultural heritage policy of the United States can be informed by the domestic activities of other countries to both better adapt and protect the nation's cultural heritage from the effects of climate change and utilize historic buildings as a climate change mitigation tool.

Speakers will highlight other nations' efforts to:
re-use existing buildings as a key decarbonization tool;
support Indigenous Knowledge to prepare for climate change and support self-determination;
adapt historic sites to climate change; and
center climate heritage in their domestic policy.

Please bookmark the conference web page for more information and for the Zoom link.

This ACHP conference is co-sponsored by Georgetown University Law Center, Georgetown Climate Center, the American Institute of Architects, Cornell Law School, and the Cornell Center for Social Sciences.  For any questions, contact Adam Brodheim at abrodheim@achp.gov.
