Abstract
Climate change is having a profound impact on our practical, technical, and philosophical approaches to the conservation of built heritage. From mitigation and adaptation to managed loss, conservators are faced with increasingly challenging decisions for the future of our historic built environment. At the same time, it is recognised that many of these buildings offer important lessons from the pre-industrial age. Recent literature in sustainability studies has questioned the ethics and environmental justice of climate actions. Similarly, the critical turn of heritage studies brings to light the complexities behind many rescue missions in the built environment. These recent developments in the subject field call for further reflections on how we deal with these crises. This special issue collates new research into the complex relationship between climate change and built heritage. Contributions cover both technical and philosophical challenges under the following sub-themes.
