Title:
EAA Community for Climate Change and Heritage (CCH) Roundtable
Content:
Archaeology and cultural heritage are important to both human understanding and management of crises. Interdisciplinary research on responses of previous societies to similar crises can help us to develop resilience, mitigation and adaptation strategies to tackle these global big challenges in early 21st century. We have as background the results from the recently completed COP26 in Glasgow (November 2021), as well as statements on climate change and heritage released by the EAA 2021, Social Archaeology of Climate Change Summit (SACC 2021), and the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) (in progress, to be released Spring 2022), which all point to different important aspects on how archaeology and archaeologists can contribute.
This sixth roundtable organized by the EAA Community for Climate Change and Heritage (CCH) builds on the success of the previous ones and hopes to focus further on: (1) Internationalization, (2) Prioritization, (3) Strategies, and (4) Policies.
We will also invite representatives of key archaeology associations as well as specialists in climate change and heritage research as a sounding board for the CCH activities. In addition, the roundtable session will provide an update on the work done in and by the community since the previous meeting and discuss next steps for the Community to grow and extends its network and activities in a global climate crisis.
