- Abstract:
- Cultural and natural heritage faces increasing threats from climate change and pollution. To address this, the INACO project (INnovative strategies for the Adoption of risk management plans to enhance the resilience of sensitive Cultural and natural heritage Objectives against climate hazards in river basin districts) aims to develop and enhance innovative tools for safeguarding these valuable assets. Our research focuses on the Risk Mapping Tool for Cultural Heritage Protection, a powerful instrument that combines both Earth Observation-based data and outputs from climate models. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive view of current and future risks by incorporating satellite observations with predictive climate projections. The tool's primary objective is to integrate novel variables, such as extreme indices and air quality data, to provide more accurate risk assessments. This advanced capability will directly support policy and decision-makers in their efforts to effectively manage and preserve heritage by delivering concrete, data-driven strategies.
