Protecting with purpose - National Geographic Society & Iron Mountain’s Living Legacy Initiative

Discover how Iron Mountain and National Geographic Society are protecting our shared heritage through climate adaptation action. Cultural heritage sites are experiencing increasing impacts from climate events like fires, floods, and storms that not only erode the physical integrity, but also the social fabric of the communities tied to them.

In this webinar, National Geographic Explorer, Dr. Victoria Herrmann:

• Shared an overview of how her team strengthens cultural heritage resilience throughout the world through a global network of site custodians, scientists, storytellers, and community organizers;
• Offered a deeper look into a few cultural heritage sites of interest; and
• Showcased the Climate Hero series that Iron Mountain funding supports through our Living Legacy Initiative.

We’ll also explore Iron Mountain’s Living Legacy Initiative and how it supports communities through preserving and making accessible cultural and historical information.
