Traditional knowledge is valuable because it provides adaptive solutions to cope with the impacts of climate change on communities and cultural landscapes. The promotion of these vernacular knowledge and practices and its relationship with cultural landscapes can contribute to the identification and adoption of cross-cutting measures and criteria within the framework of National Cultural Heritage Plans to improve intersectoral coordination in the face of social challenges related to climate change adaptation.

The general objective is to identify, value and transmit traditional knowledge, uses and practices in rural cultural landscapes useful for adaptation to climate change.

Among its specific goals are:

  • Identify, record and analyze knowledge and experiences for climate change adaptation in cultural landscapes and traditional practices.
  • Promote, coordinate and foster practices and knowledge useful for adaptation to climate change.
  • Transfer results to cultural policies and to the social and productive fabric.
  • Communicate the project.
  • Identification and registration of traditional knowledge, uses and practices linked to cultural landscapes that share values of adaptation to the negative effects of climate change.
  • Analysis of the potential of traditional knowledge, uses and practices for climate change adaptation.
  • Identification and registration of experiences and actions of social innovation for the sustainable management of cultural landscapes.
  • Analysis of the potential of social innovation experiences and actions registered for adaptation to climate change.
  • Participatory validation of knowledge, know-how, techniques, technologies and practices useful for climate change adaptation.
  • Creation of a databank through a collaborative online platform to disseminate knowledge and experiences for adaptation to climate change recorded and collect proposals in a collaborative manner.
  • Holding of an International Symposium to share the results of the project.
  • Dissemination of the scientific and technical documents of the project: process, contributions, results.
  • Elaboration of practical didactic units of a selection of knowledge, uses and practices with territorial agents.
  • Presentation of didactic material through agents of the territory.
  • Identification and proposal of cross-cutting measures and criteria for adaptation to climate change within the framework of the National Cultural Heritage Plans.
