Status Update on Archaeology in Relation to the Climate Change Movement

Summary

Archaeology has many connections to climate change: damage and loss due to the impacts of changing environments, the capacity to provide insights for policy and decision-makers about the human processes of adaptation and migration, community connections to the past and the importance of place, citizen science, media coverage, and connections between heritage and identity in conflict, to name only a few. This paper overviews this range of connections and the importance of assessing where cultural heritage, historic preservation, and the field of archaeology particularly, stand in relation to global efforts to address climate change.
