This edited collection acknowledges the diversity of cultural heritage across collecting institutions, heritage sites and communities by highlighting how, in Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, the quest to preserve such precious knowledge relies on records and narratives being available to inform decisions now and into the future. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders who have an interest in - and responsibility for - the care of cultural heritage material and places of cultural heritage value, this book explores thinking on and actions in relation to issues of climate change and environmental risk. Based on the understanding that this global challenge requires local, national and international co-operation, it also considers how local knowledge can have international applications. Climatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage will be of interest to those engaged in the study of heritage, conservation, archaeology, archives, anthropology, climate change and the environment. It will be also useful to practitioners and others attempting to understand the effect of environmental change on cultural heritage around the globe"--
