Three Key Questions on Culture, Cultural Heritage and Climate Change

6 Foreword I am very pleased to present the proceedings of the round table Three Key Questions on Culture, Cultural Heritage and Climate Change, organised by the Fondazione Scuola dei beni e delle attività culturali in January 2022. The contributions made by the speakers on the possibility of fighting climate change in the urban environment while preserving cultural heritage are of general interest and we now make them available to a large public through this publication. The volume presents the round table transcript and, to enrich the proceedings, a section dedicated to projects which concretely explore viable instruments to tackle climate change. The round table approached both the theoretical and the experimental aspects of climate action, and the discussion set out to stimulate a dialogue among experts with different backgrounds addressing distinct professional domains. The theme of what strategies culture professionals and institutions can develop to counter climate change is urgent and critical and needs to be integrated into all the activities of educational institutions. We hope the reflections gathered in this publication will contribute to open the debate on effective ways to talk about this issue, empowering people and institutions in the fight against climate change. Alessandra Vittorini Director, Fondazione Scuola dei beni e delle attività culturali
