Citizen science and deep mapping for climate communication: A report on CHICC

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper reports on CHICC: a community archaeology project funded by Horizon 2020 (2021–2023). CHICC (Culture, Heritage, Identity: impacts of Climate Change) explores the impact of heritage upon climate communication and action in the project areas of Denmark, Ireland and Scotland. The citizen science methodology involves working with communities to co-create digital presentations or ‘deep maps’ of heritage sites at risk from anthropogenic climate change. The early results of this unrestricted co-creation include the community’s deeper understanding of their local heritage and its relationships to climate change, which can be a provocation for climate action.
