Thematic Focus

Heritage, Culture & Creativity for Climate Adaptation and resilience; Research and Innovation

Event Description

Four projects are presented mainstreaming the impact and value of heritage, culture and creativity as important enablers for economic regeneration, climate adaptation and mitigation. They represent the diversity of innovations across sectors, cultures and generations to underline that an open and collaborative ecosystem for innovation is the foundational key for novel solutions to make the green transition successful while maintaining our cultural heritage as memory of the past creativity and social cohesion and landmarks for identity.

GamesForest.Club conquers climate change with the creative power of the games industry

 Abstract:

GamesForest.Club is a non-profit, which enhances the creative power and network of the global games industry to conquer climate change. With data driven and transparent reforestation and forest conservation, we reduce the games industries and their players' ecological footprint, regenerating climate and biodiversity. Thanks to the playful visualization of impact with the digital forest twin, impact becomes measurable and tangible, engaging communities to participate and design new ways to contribute to the solution.

 Daniela Sani (ART-ER Attrattività Ricerca Territorio)

Activating territories and communities on cultural climate change mindset transition through inclusive and innovative participatory paths

 Abstract:

ART-ER Attractiveness Research Territory is fostering the Emilia-Romagna region’s sustainable growth by developing innovation and knowledge, attractiveness and internationalisation. It presents local experiences to support environmental policy, systemic change and behaviour transformation via participatory process and experiential training with special attention to marginal areas.

 Johanna Leissner (Fraunhofer Sustainability Network)

Strengthening cultural heritage resilience for climate change – where the Green Deal meets cultural heritage

 Abstract:

The intervention reports about the results of the EU expert group of European Member States how climate change affects cultural heritage. But cultural heritage is not only a victim of climate change but offers solutions to fight against the climate crisis. Cultural heritage can provide traditional knowledge and skills how to adapt and to reduce the carbon footprint of the building sector, for example by promoting the art of dry stone walling or the revitalisation of old air wells. It contributes to economic recovery by stimulating the energy efficient upgrading and renovation of old and abandoned buildings and this will also help to overcome the housing crisis.

The Beep project: "BIM for Energy Efficiency in the Public sector", as a driver for energy and environmental improvement of the public built heritage

 Abstract:

Energy resilient historical buildings ensuring their own conservation over time are also a key resource for Climate Change mitigation and adaptation while improving comfort and health of occupants. The BEEP project addresses the issue of energy efficiency of the built heritage in an innovative way through a process based on a strong digitisation of analysis, design and decision support tools, and fostering instruments to achieve financial support. The methodology was tested in buildings of historical and artistic value in seven Mediterranean countries.
