Phase 1

• To engage heritage managers, municipal planners, and cultural NGOs to recognize the climate risks facing Spain’s World Heritage Sites.

• Involve site administrators, conservation experts, and regional authorities to ensure they understand threats like flooding, heat stress, and wildfires.

• Encourage dialogue and small-scale sharing of knowledge to raise awareness and highlight urgent adaptation needs.

Phase 2

• Invite heritage sites, regional governments, and NGOs to publicly endorse a voluntary “Heritage Climate Awareness Pledge,” committing to track climate risks and share mitigation insights.

• Encourage adopters to implement simple actions: post infographics online, circulate brief newsletters, or host micro-webinars for staff and local stakeholders to communicate climate risks.
