The International Scientific Committee on Energy, Sustainability and Climate Change (ISCES) is a global network of heritage professionals, researchers, and practitioners working at the interface of cultural heritage, sustainable development, and climate action.

Our mission is to advance knowledge, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and promote best practices for safeguarding cultural heritage in the face of climate change. We address the challenges of energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and resilience, while ensuring that conservation respects the values and authenticity of historic places.

As part of ICOMOS, ISCES contributes to international policy dialogues, supports the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and engages with initiatives such as the Climate Heritage Network. Through research, advocacy, and capacity building, we aim to demonstrate how cultural heritage can inspire and inform a more sustainable and resilient future.
