Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the next ISCES webinar, “Decarbonizing the Built Environment through Heritage” featuring speakers Lori Ferriss and Billie Faircloth.

The webinar will explore how cultural heritage can contribute to climate action in the building sector through both technical practice and policy development.

Drawing on the Decarbonizing the Built Environment through Heritage (DBTH) Toolkit, the session will examine how heritage-informed approaches to the care, adaptation, reuse, and stewardship of existing buildings can support emissions reductions, climate resilience, and community well-being.

The speakers will present examples from around the world demonstrating how heritage knowledge, practices, and places can advance decarbonization. The session will also consider how these solutions can be more effectively recognized, incorporated, and scaled through climate and built-environment policies.

Date: 10 September 2026
Time: 14:00 – 15:00 CEST
Format: Online via Zoom
