È di tutta evidenza ormai come il nostro patrimonio culturale, inteso nella sua complessità di patrimonio immobile e mobile ma anche paesaggistico, sia a rischio a causa degli eventi estremi correlati ai cambiamenti climatici che lo stanno mettendo sotto pressione con una frequenza crescente. Catastrofi naturali e disastri antropici impongono nuove sfide conservative mondiali in continua evoluzione e necessitano urgentemente di un approccio innovativo. A rischio non è solo la conservazione del patrimonio culturale ma anche la sicurezza dei visitatori, dei lavoratori del settore e delle comunità locali, con conseguenze economiche negative a seguito della riduzione dei flussi turistici. Ma se il rischio è sempre più evidente, purtroppo sono ancora sporadiche le misure e le strategie inserite nei piani di riduzione e gestione del rischio. Il CNR-ISAC ha coordinato su questi temi due progetti Interreg Central Europe, "ProteCHt2save - Risk Assessment and Sustainable Protection of Cultural Heritage in Changing Environments" (2017-2020) e il progetto di capitalizzazione "STRENCH - STRENgthening resilience of Cultural Heritage at risk in a changing environment through proactive transnational cooperation" (2020-2022). Lo strumento principale realizzato e successivamente integrato è stato l'online WebGIS, attualmente denominato in "Risk Mapping Tool for Cultural Heritage Protection" che, visualizzando in modo interattivo mappe di rischio dell'Europa a elevata risoluzione spaziale culturale, mostra dove e con quale forza i possibili cambiamenti climatici interesseranno il territorio.

Abstract
It is widely recognized nowadays that our cultural heritage, considered in its complexity of immovable and movable heritage but also landscape, is at risk due to extreme events related to climate change that are putting it under pressure with increasing frequency. Natural catastrophes and anthropogenic disasters impose new and continuously evolving global conservation challenges and urgently require an innovative approach. At risk is not only the preservation of cultural heritage but also the safety of visitors, workers in the sector and local communities, with negative economic consequences as a result of the reduction of tourist flows. However, while the risk is increasingly evident, unfortunately, the measures and strategies included in risk reduction and management plans are still sporadic. CNR-ISAC coordinated on these topics two Interreg Central Europe projects, "ProteCHt2save - Risk Assessment and Sustainable Protection of Cultural Heritage in Changing Environments" (2017-2020) and the capitalization project "STRENCH - STRENgthening resilience of Cultural Heritage at risk in a changing environment through proactive transnational cooperation" (2020-2022). The main tool created and subsequently integrated was the online WebGIS, currently named "Risk Mapping Tool for Cultural Heritage Protection" which, by interactively displaying risk maps of Europe at high cultural spatial resolution, shows where and how strongly possible climate change will affect the territory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
