Decarbonizing the Built Environment Campaign

about

The Decarbonizing the Built Environment Through Heritage (DBTH) Campaign calls for policy transformation to unlock the potential of heritage-informed decarbonization solutions in the built environment.

The campaign will:

  • Make concrete policy recommendations to integrate heritage knowledge, solutions, and voices into climate policy

  • Elevate proven heritage solutions from communities, practitioners, and heritage organizations up to policymakers

  • Strengthen a community of advocates for culture-based climate action.

By joining the campaign, you will become part of coordinated messaging, communication, and virtual programming across CHN members and partners.

The DBTH Campaign will launch formally at COP30 in November of 2025 and extend through June of 2026.
