H360 brings together research at the intersection of natural and cultural heritage. It is no longer tenable to consider heritage in the absence of solutions to environmental concerns and related impacts on well-being and societal cohesion. H360 challenges current conceptual frameworks and static definitions of heritage as something simply to be preserved. It situates research in dynamic alignment to the exigencies of our changing world.
