With the increasing frequency and severity of extreme events, it has become essential to build resilient systems and communities that can withstand and recover from these events. Heritage-led, sustainable interventions can ensure agency and empowerment, making communities and their places more resilient, as well as contributing to safeguarding culture and heritage from natural hazards. This session provides an opportunity to engage with disaster resilience thinking and practice across multiple specializations towards a more participatory and sustainable management of heritage and culture in line with the Faro Convention and the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
