Climate change represents a significant challenge to the preservation of architectural heritage; however, the development of pragmatic methodologies for safeguarding architectural heritage in at-risk areas remains under-investigated. This research assesses the impact of climate change on Alpine architectural heritage and identifies practical measures for adaptation. Key research questions include: 1. How is climate change impacting the Alpine region? 2. Are climate policies currently being implemented at the regional level to mitigate these impacts? 3. Do regional and national climate change adaptation and mitigation plans adequately address the needs of architectural heritage? 4. What are the primary effects of climate change on Alpine architectural heritage? 5. What practical measures can protect Alpine heritage to support adaptation to changing environmental conditions? The investigation is based on a bibliographic review of key sources and an analysis of international and national policies, with a particular focus on the Italian context, highlighting overlapping strategies across various levels and stakeholders. These overlaps pose challenges to developing a comprehensive protection framework for the protection of alpine heritage. The study proposes a coordinated strategy spanning provincial and national levels that corresponds to the architectural scale. The findings aim to guide future research and decision-making, providing actionable strategies towards heritage adaptation.

Abstract
Climate change represents a significant challenge to the preservation of architectural heritage; however, the development of pragmatic methodologies for safeguarding architectural heritage in at-risk areas remains under-investigated. This research assesses the impact of climate change on Alpine architectural heritage and identifies practical measures for adaptation. Key research questions include: 1. How is climate change impacting the Alpine region? 2. Are climate policies currently being implemented at the regional level to mitigate these impacts? 3. Do regional and national climate change adaptation and mitigation plans adequately address the needs of architectural heritage? 4. What are the primary effects of climate change on Alpine architectural heritage? 5. What practical measures can protect Alpine heritage to support adaptation to changing environmental conditions? The investigation is based on a bibliographic review of key sources and an analysis of international and national policies, with a particular focus on the Italian context, highlighting overlapping strategies across various levels and stakeholders. These overlaps pose challenges to developing a comprehensive protection framework for the protection of alpine heritage. The study proposes a coordinated strategy spanning provincial and national levels that corresponds to the architectural scale. The findings aim to guide future research and decision-making, providing actionable strategies towards heritage adaptation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
