Net Zero: Heritage for Climate Action | call for proposals | closes 7 May

FAR-First Aid and Resilience for Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis, a flagship Programme of ICCROM, is pleased to invite project proposals for its next multi-level capacity development project Net Zero: Heritage for Climate Action.

Net Zero is an 18-month project (July 2022 – 31 December 2023) which aims to enhance risk reduction and coping capacities of vulnerable heritage communities. It sets to implement field projects at five innovation sites, in five risk-prone countries, using heritage to mitigate climate change, as well as reduce the risks of disasters and conflicts. The field experience will feed into an international training of change agents and community leaders. A final international symposium and publication will act as catalysts to inform policy and expand the outreach of the project by sharing the know-how on heritage for climate action in 25-30 countries suffering from acute environmental stresses. 

Proposals are invited from institutions and organizations which are highly motivated and have worked on successfully implementing projects on cultural heritage safeguard, sustainable development, disaster risk reduction and/or climate action. Additionally, we encourage applications from organizations working in regions suffering from acute environmental stresses, visible in the form of frequent extreme hazard events and/or climate-driven conflicts.
