Impact of Climate Change on Heritage

Event Description

Scotland’s traditional buildings must be carefully assessed and appropriately retrofitted to mitigate the potential damage of climate change to their historic fabric and cultural significance.

Join us as we delve into aspects of climate change policy, explore theoretical and practical solutions that are making a difference, and discuss how we can protect Scotland's assets for the future.

A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed.
