1. Our heritage sites have coped with drastic climate changes in the past, and the knowledge to survive these transitions, using local traditions, skills and materials and employing circular  economies, resides within the heritage communities. This information should be disseminated  to the broader society, both within and outside of the heritage sector.

2. In order to limit the use of new-age industrial materials so as to support the vernacular heritage  sites and the environment, we must mobilize funding and encourage skill training that  incentivize the use of traditional materials. The voice of the communities should be considered  by the heritage professionals and specialists, in the decision-making process.

3. To safeguard the traditional knowledge and skills that are at the risk of being lost, we must  carry out outreach and engagement programmes within the heritage communities. Storytelling should be employed as a powerful tool for transmitting the narratives across generations, while  community-based digital transformation activities should be led by the young people, so as to  holistically bring together technology and tradition.  

4. We must encourage the concept of holistic heritage destinations where sites are connected to  their wider surroundings, and promote sustainable travel and tourism at these places, adapting  to the challenges to public transport caused by the pandemic.

5. As the issues related to sustainable tourism remain interconnected, we must understand our  current position and challenges, and develop innovative solutions by engaging with tourists and  supporting citizen science to collect data for site managers; and preventing over-exploitation,  through ‘voluntourism’.

6. It is crucial that we involve communities in the development of plans and policies related to  climate heritage resilience, and in the creation of community-focused tourism initiatives.

7. We need to ensure wider cooperation and knowledge sharing on heritage and climate action  across sectors and geographies, focusing on up-skilling current practitioners, including young  people, and educating the future generations.

8. To ensure just, diverse, and democratic discourses on heritage, we must acknowledge and  support the different actors and different perspectives within the sector and work particularly on  increasing the inclusion of youth in all the activities of the sector.

9. We must create and support a robust community dedicated to climate-heritage research,  addressing both tangible and intangible heritage, and focusing on nature-based solutions towards achieving climate-heritage resilience.

10. We must acknowledge that not all heritage sites can be saved and find the best way to manage  the loss, implement mitigative measures where feasible, and ensure proper documentation wherever possible.
