Cultural heritage is gaining widespread recognition for its pivotal role in driving the transition towards climate action. Heritage education holds immense potential in cultivating climate adaptation competencies, fostering positive dialogues about climate change, altering attitudes, and inspiring actions. However, achieving these objectives necessitates bridging the gap between policy, practice, and local capacity building, as well as integrating a multi- and transdisciplinary approach into traditional higher education curricula and models.

To address climate challenges effectively, this book offers a comprehensive collection of innovative teaching and learning methods, tools, and pedagogical models tailored for heritage education. It is organized into four parts, encompassing a diverse range of international experiences, real-life cases, and practices. These sections focus on heritage and resilience building, vulnerability and risk assessment, climate change adaptation, mitigation, and policymaking.

By drawing upon knowledge, expertise, and experiences from various disciplinary fields, Heritage Education for Climate Action serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, and professionals seeking to develop future climate leadership and contribute to the transformative journey of heritage education towards sustainable development and climate action.
