Heritage Now! is the campaign launched by the Decarbonizing the Built Environment through Heritage initiative, which calls for policy transformation to unlock the potential of heritage-informed decarbonization solutions in the built environment.

The campaign will:

  • Make concrete policy recommendations to integrate heritage knowledge, solutions, and voices into climate policy

  • Elevate proven heritage solutions from communities, practitioners, and heritage organizations up to policymakers

  • Strengthen a community of advocates for culture-based climate action.

By joining the campaign, you will become part of coordinated messaging, communication, and virtual programming across Climate Heritage Network members and partners.
