Popularising the Archaeology of Climate Change

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This paper will discuss the need to popularise the archaeology of climate change beyond our professional networks to the general public via museums and education as well as the media. We will discuss ways to translate the archaeology of climate change into actionable science to inform decision making within a global framework of climate change action in the public as well as in intergovernmental panels, agencies, and associations. We will present the “Kiel Statement” (https://www.jma.uni-kiel.de/en/research-projects/sacc/sacc-statement-2021.pdf) - which is endorsed by organizations such as the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA), and ICOMOS, the SAA, and the World Archaeological Congress (WAC) – and discuss how it can be used for transformative climate action as it relates to archaeological heritage.
