Past KHAW Conferences

KHAW conferences, programs, and workshops are collaborative forums to proactively identify climate change solutions for the preservation of cultural heritage. Coastal inundation—which refers to sea level rise, storm surge, abnormally high tides, and persistent onshore winds and waves—is a threat to the built and cultural heritage of coastal communities across the globe. The goal of KHAW’s community-focused outreach is to develop and strengthen relationships among communities, partners, and experts in relevant fields.

Community activists, cultural practitioners, preservationists, public historians, museum professionals, archaeologists, planners, floodplain managers, engineers, architects, landscape architects, artists, conservationists, environmental justice advocates, government officials, property owners, resilience officers, and other stakeholders are all part of this global conversation.
