Since 2020 the Historic Environment Forum has recognised climate change as one of the biggest challenges threatening the resilience of the sector. Heritage is part of the solution to climate change, but what are the skills and investments needed to unlock this potential? This report, produced by Kerbside Collective in collaboration with the Green Skills in Heritage Task Group, explores the level of investments required to get the heritage sector to net zero, and illustrates some of the related evidence gaps and policy challenges. It also highlights best practices, and how collaborative efforts are key to develop a more resilient and sustainable sector.
We are delighted that Becket's Chapel is one of the case studies in the Heritage Sector Net Zero Project Audit report. We are included alongside larger organisations such as the Holkham Estate and national bodies such as Historic England and the National Trust.
