FRH is delighted to invite you to the online event “Religious Heritage: an overlooked driver for a more sustainable and inclusive society”, which will showcase a series of innovative projects to make religious heritage sites more sustainable and inclusive by fostering adaptation to climate change challenges, becoming more environmentally friendly and connecting local communities to these sites to secure their future.
