Abstract

ABSTRACT All sites have a climate change story. Interpretation of climate change at historic sites has largely been limited to global warming’s physical impacts. This paper provides case studies from the U.S. and Scotland of places where practitioners are working to expand beyond that framework to add new relevance and impact to climate change interpretation. Historic and natural places can be interpreted to make powerful connections, showing visitors how we came to this moment of climate crisis and helping them understand their roles in addressing this challenge. Especially as climate change intensifies and threatens not just the natural and historic places we admire, but our own homes and ways of life, it becomes increasingly important we connect with our past to secure our future.
