2. Impacts on heritage
3. Addressing the
problem
Conclusion
OVERVIEW
Climate Change
…a change in the average climate (or its variability) from one
averaging period to the next (i.e. 30 years).
(Parry and Carter, 1998: 5)

General projections…
• Warmer wetter winters
• Hotter drier summers
• Increased frequency of extreme & unpredictable
weather (high winds, intense rain)
• Sea-level rise
Understanding the Impacts
Direct:
Catastrophic
& Cumulative
Indirect:
Mitigation &
Adaptation

Addressing the Problem in Ireland
Understanding - Research & Monitoring
Manage effects - Adaptation & policy
 Uncertainty & complexity
 Short-term thinking in policy and funding decisions
There is no quality in human nature, which causes more fatal errors
in our conduct, than that which leads us to prefer whatever is present
to the distant and remote… [David Hume, A Treatise of Human
Nature]
 Denial and/or fear amongst policy makers; both in
relation to the scale of the problem and the possible
impacts – hard decisions
Addressing the Problem; Barriers
Climate Change, Heritage
and Tourism
Implications for Ireland’s
Coast and Inland
Waterways
2009 report by Heritage
Council and Failte Ireland
Addressing the Problem; Research
2010 ICOMOS
Ireland Report
Monitoring
Impacts of
Climate Change
on Built Heritage
Addressing the Problem; Monitoring
Two types of monitors required:
1. Climate Monitors – recording detailed information on the local climate
2. Impact Monitors – recording the effects of climate on heritage values (loss and/or
change)
Relating two sets of data will enable clarification of climate change effects.
NB timescale is long term (30-100 years)
Weather station
at Clonmacnoise
Monitoring at 5 National Monuments using
LegIT (Legacy Indicator Tool)
e.g. MASC - Monitoring the
Archaeology of Sligo’s Coastline in
2015
• 850 hours of local community
volunteer work…
• 5 new registered archaeological
monuments
• 148 vulnerable archaeological
monuments mapped <10m from
the coast…
Addressing the Problem; Citizen
Science
Reactive: Coastal erosion strategy developed in response to large increase in
reported human remains finds following 2013/14 storms
http://www.engineersjournal.ie/2017/06/06/coastal-erosion-in-ireland-a-
perspective-on-past-present-and-future-management/
Addressing the Problem; Policy
Proactive: National Adaptation Strategy - Built & Archaeological
Heritage sectoral plan under Climate Action and Low Carbon
Development Act 2016
• Joint sectoral approach
• Impacts up to 2050
•Longer term policies & plans
– targeting resources
•Monitoring & recording
- no heroic measures
Conclusions…
AFP photo Tim Cole rt.com
Climate change is, and will continue, changing Ireland’s
heritage…natural & cultural, tangible and intangible
Effective response requires Resources, Authority,
Leadership & Information

Editor's Notes

  1. Uncertainty due many unknown variables but in general we can expect…
  2. Shows both catastrophic (flooding), cumulative (biodeterioration) and indirect (land use changes) Intended as an aid to decision makers, requires active review supported by monitoring
  3. Policy after the fact – dev policy as a response is current pattern
