Notice Title

Public responses to climate-related heritage loss (NP 312)

Notice Description

Various research projects by Historic England and other organisations have been done exploring attitudes to climate change, but a comprehensive population study hasn't yet been done to produce representative and actionable insights into how people perceive and feel about climate-related loss of heritage (defined as places that people and communities tend to feel attached to: historic buildings; parks; war memorials; locations of historic events; and coastal heritage sites). Historic England wishes to fill this gap to inform some of the Climate Action elements of our Corporate Plan: Further details of this project can be found within the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document.
