Cultural Resources Climate Change Strategy

The following dataset contains the published documentation that support the cultural aspects of the Climate Change Strategy, an integrative framework to address challenges associated with climate change across the National Park Service (NPS).<br><br>The Cultural Resources Climate Change Strategy sets out a vision and broad approach for managing impacts to and learning from cultural resources under modern climate change.Cultural resources are our record of the human experience. Collectively, these archeological sites, cultural landscapes, ethnographic resources, museum collections, and historic buildings and structures connect one generation to the next. The National Park Service is charged with conserving cultural resources so that they may be enjoyed by future generations. Climate change is adding challenges to this role, and will continue to affect cultural resources in diverse ways. At the same time, through the tangible and intangible qualities they hold, cultural resources are also part of the solution to climate change. - Cultural resources climate change strategy—Climate change (U.
