Interest and focus on tackling the climate emergency in historic buildings has never been higher, but action so far is limited. In a series of workshops in early 2023, the questions of what is currently happening and the challenges hindering action were put to those who own, manage, or work with historic buildings across the Square Mile.
The results have formed signposts for action, for how a guide can be developed to help historic building owners drive progress towards carbon reduction and climate resilience.
Commonalities across all responses showcase the principal opportunities that might galvanise more action;
Our call for involvement in the study continues, for owners and managers of historic property and for other interested parties. Both questionnaires can be found on Commonplace platform, found here.
All feedback received is being used to help shape our ongoing work, and development of an online toolkit aimed at distilling clear and practical advice on how to reduce carbon emissions and build climate resilience in historic buildings.
