2 Nordic Solutions for robust societies Norrköping 24/ Session 1d: Adapt Northern Heritage

3 The Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme part of the European Territorial Cooperation Objectives; Interreg. To achieve NPA-programme vision: 4. Protecting, Promoting and Developing Cultural and Natural Heritage Adapt Northern Heritage is a project supporting communities and local authorities to adapt northern cultural heritage to the environmental impacts of climate change and associated natural hazards through community engagement and informed conservation planning.

4 Project results Develop procedures for - risks and vulnerability assessments and - sustainable adaptation planning Make adaptation action plans for the demonstration case studies Create a network of stakeholders concerned with conservation in the context of a changing climate to contribute, engage, learn and network. Marte Boro 29. oktober 2018

5 Goals in 2018 Develop a risk assessment method guidance Test, get feed back on how it s working and on improvements Make risk assessments of strategic cultural heritage, the demonstration sites Revise the method accordingly

6 CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTION Foto: Mycoteam Foto: M Boro Riksantikvaren Foto: Nils Inge Lorentsen CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIO wetter, warmer and more extreme weathers CAUSES damages from natural hazards to long term effects CALL FOR better maintenance, informed conservation planning, climate smart solutions, risk analyses and measures

7 Actors and target groups ANH: A wide range of actors - owners, cultural heritage managers, property managers Municipalities are a starting point! Crucial in governing Cultural Heritage Sites through the Building and planning act Important actor in planning, prepare and prevent climate related damages The first to experience climate change impacts on local basis Owner of Cultural Heritage Sites, manage sites, promote active living, tourism etc Conducts planning policies «Kommuneplan og -delplan», «Kulturmiljöplan» (according to the Building and planning act)

8 Objects/Aims at/purpose (rubrik?) It is important to do risk assesments of cultural heritage in a changing climate Because Important knowledge base Cost less money to do preventive measures Can t afford losing cultural and/or natural values Helge Mikalsen/VG/NTB scanpix Benefits: Mitigates risk and consequenses Informed conservation Improved management Improving capacities of for local communitites: Start-up tools for local communitites Improved policies, actions and measures Andrew Bowden, Wikimedia Commons

9 Bartjan Sami Summer gathering in Jämtland Gathering for label reindeers: Ancient sami monuments (storages, foundations, hearths, bones), kåtor

10 Climate change effects and impacts Today: Seasons are longer and shorter- Longer periods of temperatures around Zero Shorter periods of snow Shorter or longer periods of Summer Environmental impacts: Effects vegetation (overgrowing, feeding), dry periods and heat waves (heat fires, ground water), insects Illustration ur «Klimatstrategi Jämtlands län »

12 Hiorthhamn, Svalbard Mining community Old buildings, cable way and railway Hiorthhamn, mining settlement, Svalbard, Norway

13 Climate change effects and impacts Increasing - temperature, - precipitation - storm frequency Higher rates of precipitation falling as rain, increased winter precipitation and thawing permafrost. Natural hazard frequency and rates is predicted to increase: Increased erosion on riverbanks and along costal lines intensified by melting/lack of sea ice during wintertime. Increased snow avalange risk solifluction (gradual movement of wet soil down a slope), landslides and rockfalls

14 Aurland municipality and Aurlandsdalen and summer farms Aurlandsdalen today a national historic trail once an important connection between the east and west of Norway. It also links the valley's many important farms and summer farms. Several summer farms areas.

17 Similarities Aurland, Svalbard and Bartjan? All 3: Landscape important is important and the challenge on degradation of wooden building materials Bartjan and Svalbard: Managed without a very long time horizon They are used to adapt (On Svalbard houses have been moved before and in Bartjan they move after the reindeer) Svalbard and Aurland: flooding, erosion (rivers and sea) common challenges need for prioritizing and documentation Aurland and Bartjan: communication, identity, use are common challenges

18 Learnings so far How to ensure to not spend more resources than necessary and to use the recourses best? How advanced can and should the method be? Challenge having one method with: Different types of users with different roles, goals, resources and skills Different types of cultural heritage objects or environment Needs flexibility! Climate data How to get data? - Different sources in the different countries What data is relevant? - Depending on location, type of cultural heritage object/environment, goals What data do we manage to use? - Depending on type of impact/damage, qualifications Is local knowledge the most important?

19 Next steps Revise the risk assessment method Finalice the risk assessments at the sites Develop a guide for Planning risk reduction measures Test the guide for risk reduction 2019 on the sites Revice the guide Develope an online tool
