[edit] Introduction
In conjunction with COP26, the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) has introduced a podcast series to raise awareness and understanding about how conservation philosophy and practice contributes towards meeting the challenge of climate change.
Originally broadcast during COP26, the episodes feature sectoral experts sharing their knowledge, experience and views on what’s being done and what’s to come. All opinions expressed during the podcasts and discussions are the contributors’ own and are not intended to be the official position of the IHBC.
