Heritage Montreal - International Day for Monuments and Sites, the impact of climate change on the built heritage:

Since 2009, Héritage Montréal has been proposing activities in Montréal as part of the International Day for Monuments and Sites (April 18) declared by UNESCO at the request of ICOMOS, the International Council on Monuments and Sites. Each year, ICOMOS proposes a global theme. In 2022, this theme is Heritage and Climate. On this occasion, Heritage Montreal and the Centre for Sustainable Development are organizing a virtual round table on April 13 to mark this International Day and to examine, in our context, this very current theme.
Event in French, with the possibility of questions and answers in French and English.
April 13, 2022, at 12 noon, via Zoom.

Fogo Island Arts presents a new digital talk in the Lost & Found Agency entitled Fogo Island in a Changing Ocean: Developing Foresight for the Future. Part of the public program of the current exhibition Shezad Dawood: Between Land & Sea, this talk calls on the themes suggested by Dawood to further investigate how climate change will impact the abundance and spatial distribution of marine life around Fogo Island. How will the people of Fogo Island respond to changes in the climate, ocean, and sea life around them? And how might researchers, artists, and the people of Fogo Island work together to prepare for long-term changes and challenges? This talk calls attention to approaches for creative collaboration among researchers, artists, community leaders, and the fishing industry to strategically work towards a future that Fogo Island wants in a time of great uncertainty.
