Search Thursday, 17 December 2020 Antarctic Melting Glacier in a Global Warming Environment. © Bernhard Staehli/Shutterstock.com On 3 December 2020, climate experts and local management teams from the 50 UNESCO marine World Heritage sites met online in an effort to accelerate replication of initial successes in assessing climate vulnerability.  The online meeting was the fourth edition in a new digital exchange platform that was launched by the World Heritage Centre in March 2020. During the meeting, experts from Australia’s James Cook University presented a newly developed rapid assessment tool called the Climate Vulnerability Index or CVI. The tool allows World Heritage managers and local communities to identify key climate threats to the Outstanding Universal Value of sites and set priorities for action. The tool helps local teams to take a more hands-on approach to assessing climate impacts while limiting costs and time for implementation.
