Nature based solutions are best alternatives as soft structures. Shelterbelts or bio-shields developed in coastal areas with coastal plants taking into cognizance the beach profile and coastal ecosystem dynamics will act as and play the mitigatory role and will save the lives and livelihoods of coastal population. These are also ecosystem friendly when compared to hard concrete structures.

The Eastern Arc's Harnessing Heritage Conference will explore this to identify ways that universities, regional and national organisations, and local communities can work together for the benefit of all and to safeguard future prosperity. https://bit.ly/3yegm22

I wonder if the establishment of a new new national centre for retrofit of traditional buildings in Scotland wasn't the right time for other national level heritage organisations overseas like the The Friends of Gibraltar Heritage Society or the Gibraltar Heritage Trust, or the even farther laying Falkland Islands Museum & National Trust to reach out to Historic Environment Scotland and to propose sharing experiences? Considering that heritage science and research is at the heart of the new hub in its approach to developing best practice for the retrofit of traditional buildings, which require a wider access to skills pool or funding. Especially the "retrofit interventions required to improve energy efficiency in modern buildings are often inappropriate for these traditional buildings" is experienced here as well on a daily basis.

🕰️It’s HELCOM Through History time! 🕰️   The HELCOM Second Holistic Assessment on the Ecosystem Health of the Baltic Sea (HOLAS II) was published in 2017. HOLAS II gave an update on the overall state of ecosystem health in the Baltic Sea. For the period from 2011-2016 the assessment tracks the achievement on the goals of the Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) and is developed so that the results can support reporting under the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) by those Contracting Parties to the Helsinki Convention that are also EU member states. #HELCOMThroughHistory

Sometimes it is necessary to stop, consider and summarize the status of what you have achieved over a long period of time. In our new article in Studies in Conservation, Signe Hjerrild Smedemark and I summarize 20 years of research into indoor climate, air quality, and energy consumption in the storage and archive buildings of major Danish museums. And while there is room for improvement, it doesn't look too bad at all... Check it out, open access: https://lnkd.in/dzrtBNYf
