Europa Nostra writes:<\/p>\n

The European Cultural Heritage Green Paper is produced by\u00a0Europa Nostra\u00a0in close cooperation with\u00a0ICOMOS<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Climate Heritage Network<\/a>, with the input of other members of the\u00a0European Heritage Alliance<\/a>. It is supported by the\u00a0European Investment Bank Institute<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Creative Europe<\/a>\u00a0programme of the European Union.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the online launch event attended by over 550 people,\u00a0Hermann Parzinger, Executive President of Europa Nostra stated: \u201cThis ground-breaking document demonstrates the relevance of cultural heritage for achieving the ambitious goals of the European Green Deal, launched by the European Commission to make Europe the first carbon-free continent by 2050. The European Green Deal states that \u2018All EU actions and policies will have to contribute to the European Green Deal objectives\u2019. Our European Cultural Heritage Green Paper gives the response:\u00a0Count Cultural Heritage in!\u201d<\/p>\n

The document was presented by its Lead Author,\u00a0Andrew Potts, Coordinator of the ICOMOS Climate Change and Heritage Working Group (read & share\u00a0presentation<\/a>). He stressed that \u201cThe European Cultural Heritage Green Paper aims to integrate cultural heritage into climate action and inspire the mobilisation of the heritage community for transformative climate action.\u00a0Holding global warming to below 1.5C is our best chance at sparing the planet, its people and their cultures from the worst impacts of climate change. The European Green Deal helps put the world on that path. The future of Europe\u2019s cultural heritage depends on its success. At the same time, Europe\u2019s shared values and common heritage offer undeniable potential to help accomplish the Green Deal\u2019s mission. This is why cultural heritage is essential to the success of the European Green Deal\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Paper correlates the contribution of cultural heritage to all key areas of the\u00a0European Green Deal<\/a>, including Clean Energy, Circular Economy, the Renovation Wave, Smart Mobility, Farm to Fork, Green Finance and a Just Transition, Research and Innovation, Education and Training, as well as Green Deal Diplomacy. It\u00a0proposes a series of concrete recommendations\u00a0both for policy-makers and for cultural heritage stakeholders.\u00a0Potential conflicts, real or perceived, between heritage safeguarding and European Green Deal action are also identified, as well as\u00a0win-win strategies\u00a0for overcoming these conflicts.<\/p>\n

As a follow-up,\u00a0Europa Nostra\u00a0plans to launch a\u00a0European multi-stakeholder platform on heritage and climate action\u00a0in order to build on and deepen the collective knowledge developed with this Paper and in order to engage all parties concerned into ensuring adequate implementation of the proposed recommendations. The\u00a0European Investment Bank Institute\u00a0has also announced the introduction of a\u00a0new strand\u00a0of its future activities dedicated to the topic\u00a0\u201cCultural Heritage and Climate Action\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Paper was supported by the European Investment Bank Institute, a partner of Europa Nostra since 2013 notably with the\u00a07 Most Endangered Programme<\/a>. \u201cWe decided to support the European Cultural Heritage Green Paper because we believe cultural heritage has the potential to provide the missing link between all Europeans and the European Green Deal,\u201d noted\u00a0Francisco de Paula Coelho, Dean of the Institute.<\/p>\n

In a video message recorded especially for the Green Paper launch event,\u00a0Ambroise Fayolle, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank responsible for Climate Action, emphasised: \u201cAs Hermann Parzinger says: \u2018whether we like it or not we are all intrinsically connected to our past\u2019. In the same way, we are all intrinsically connected to the future of our planet. To safeguard our past, we need to safeguard our future as well. The EIB is supporting the European Cultural Heritage Green Paper because we believe cultural heritage has the potential to provide the missing link between all Europeans and the EU Green Deal and constitutes the basis of our common and greener future.\u201d<\/p>\n

This policy and advocacy document will also be highly\u00a0relevant for other policy priorities of the European Union, such as the recently launched\u00a0New European Bauhaus<\/a> initiative of the European Commission, of which Europa Nostra is an official partner….<\/p>\n
