GreenHeritage aims at developing a holistic, innovative and inclusive approach toward direct and indirect climate change (CC) impact on intangible cultural heritage (ICH), a topic which has received little or no attention at all. The project seeks innovative tools and methodologies able to promote adaptive and systemic approaches to better manage CC. The GreenHeritage proposal aspires to function as an urgent reminder that climate change is present, affecting both directly and indirectly all aspects of Europe’s cultural heritage. It is also an urgent call to stir up collective action. The project will be implemented in 5 European countries (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Latvia and Spain) and it will produce the following key results:•A methodology for the management, preservation and protection of ICH in the face of CC based on a needs analysis in partner countries but also across EU.•An interactive map showing examples of the most endangered areas and regions in Europe where CC has started to impact negatively different types of ICH.•A blended learning program on ICH and CC consisting of 4 online modules and 4 transnational physical workshops, targeting cross-sectoral PhD candidates, researchers, and policymakers & practitioners.•A micro-credentials programme on ICH and CC consisting of 4 online modules targeting a broader audience.•5 policy roundtables and a final conference bringing together scientists, researchers, community leaders and policy makers.•5 policy briefs, and a handbook on the state of play of ICH and CC impact at EU and national levels including key project results and final recommendations for policy change.•A long-term action plan ensuring transferability of project results.Throughout the implementation at least 500 direct and indirect stakeholders at all levels will be informed on project results, at least 150 learners will have subscribed to the e-learning platform and at least 150 participants will have attended the final conference.
