Goals

The goals of the project are:

  • Τo assess the impacts of climate change to archeological sites with the use of climate models of high spatial resolution.
  • To define climate risks per archaeological site.
  • To develop a platform with geospatial, environmental, climatic, social and economic data for the areas under examination in view of facilitating the extraction of information.
  • To develop a methodology to be rolled out as a multi-criteria system for the evaluation of exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity and eventually vulnerability to climate change.
  • To develop on the basis of the above, adaptation measures per archaeological site and to assess the anticipated changes in climate vulnerability once these measures are applied.
  • To identify in particular the necessary technical interventions in the sectors of culture, tourism, housing development, land management, coastal zones and natural capital, in order to protect the cultural capital and to ensure sustainability of the touristic sector.
