Organized by the German Federal Cultural Foundation as part of the pilot program “Climate adaptation in the cultural sector”, the two-day conference brought together professionals from cultural institutions, heritage preservation and Climate Adaptation to present best-cases and discuss the role and potential of cultural institutions in Climate Adaptation. A versatile program of talks, workshops, film screenings, concerts and excursions was co-curated by CCA together with the Federal Foundation and Nationaltheater Mannheim. We invited our network-partners Environmental Dance, Changing Climate Changing Lives and Polis-Sea to contribute among many others.
