IHBC Annual School School Theme & Venues Theme: Climate Change & Significance This year's Annual School will explore how we protect what matters most about our historic environment while responding meaningfully to the impacts of climate change. The programme will focus on key topics around understanding heritage significance, and assessing the impact and potential harm of change, including retrofit and other climate-related interventions. Bringing together conservation professionals and practitioners from across the built environment sectors, the School offers practical guidance and honest debate on one of the defining challenges facing the sector.
