Here you will learn about the adaptation approaches that can be used to reduce the impacts expected from climate change by the 2050s on heritage, tourism and leisure. The regional section describes potential adaptation approaches in the north east region. Duplication between the detail levels has been avoided wherever possible.
Climate change impacts on the heritage, tourism and leisure industry will not undergo a snap change, but an ongoing process which is already underway. Adaptation should be built into new developments, with decisions made now aiming to increase any adaptive capacity (the ability to make more adaptive decisions) in the future. Building adaptive capacity is at the foundation of climate change adaptation and sustainable future planning. Any adaptations must be long-term sustainable in financial, social and environmental terms. It is also important to ensure adaptations do not contribute more to the climate change problem, for example many classic ‘engineering’ responses will require greater energy consumption. Adaptation of heritage structures to climate change includes two main approaches; management change and physical change. The type of changes to management systems will include:
Physical adaptation may be required to supplement management changes. Physical adaptation is likely to introduce a visible change for example, increasing the size and number of gutters, hoppers and down pipes to cope with the projected increased in rainfall, will become necessary. Physical changes to cultural heritage properties can divide opinion strongly as the properties are extremely sensitive to issues of authenticity and historic integrity. Water in all forms is considered to be the most harmful agent for historic materials and structures and the removal of water must be quick and effective. Water must be carried far away from the vicinity of a building not just from the roof in order to avoid wetting the subsoil around foundations. This could involve keeping gutter, hoppers and down pipes free of debris. The potential for incorporating Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) retrospectively in existing locations should be considered. Appropriate SUDS should also be considered in areas to be developed as future tourist attractions. The impact of climate change on well managed gardens will be lessened by the attention given to plants and cultivation. Heritage gardens are of key historic interest and in order to conserve the existing form and content, changing and more extensive maintenance regimes will be necessary. This will have cost implications. In 2005, the National Trust reported an annual increase in costs of approximately £1m in mowing lawns alone. Development of new gardens now and into the future should involve careful consideration to the impacts of climate change on plants, particularly when planting long-lived species. Watering plants and lawns may become a greater concern over long dry summer periods as the availability of water is reduced. Discreet provision of irrigation and water storage schemes in parks and gardens is a potential solution. Increased winter rainfalls could provide a surplus of water for storage. Economies of scale could be made by identifying a core network of cycle and footpaths and establishing a prioritised maintenance schedule for both surfaces and furniture such as styles, benches and litter bins. Advising visitors on preservation issues and encourage sensible use such as not walking as groups in single file and avoiding walking along worn lines in grass, for example. An alternative solution could be to protect heavily-used paths and encouraging visitors to remain on the paths, sacrificing them in favour of saving the wider area. Promoting walks which avoid the most sensitive archaeology. Contingency plans should be considered for closing sections of trails and providing diversions to ease pressure on those areas most at risk. Managers must be prepared to carry out more regular maintenance of track surfaces and furniture and budget for the additional costs. Increasing public vigilance to the dangers of wildfires and providing more litter bins will reduce the risk to the parkland and moorland. Provision of extra fire-fighting equipment in the area during long dry spells should be considered although not at the detriment of overstretching the fire service. Camping and caravan site operators must take care not to allow overcrowding of sites and should be prepared to invest in facilities suitable for larger visitor numbers. Expansion of such sites should be subject to strict controls. It may be necessary to restrict development of properties or visitor attractions on or near river banks or eroding coastlines. Regular inspections of stadium structures especially following periods of extreme weather are key to identifying any possible problems or damage. Installation of air conditioning in buildings could place increased loading on structures, especially if fitted on rooftops. Existing air conditioning units may need upgrading or replacing. Increased demand for air conditioning will place increased demand on the electrical supply network of buildings and increasing the running costs of the venue. The majority of the tourist attractions in the region will produce visitor management plans in order to provide an advisory framework to inform decisions about the co-ordinated and sustainable management of all aspects of the site. The management plan is a means of establishing an appropriate balance between the needs of conservation, access, sustainable economic development and the interests of local communities. Future visitor management plans should clearly include further consideration of the implications of climate change. This could be with respect to the risk preparedness of the site to flooding and heat waves for example but could also incorporate responses to any expected increase in visitor numbers or changes in visitor patterns.

Attractions must be prepared for any increase in visitor numbers, both annually and in peak season. Popular events may draw larger crowds than in previous years and it may be necessary to increase temporary traffic-management, first-aid, security, emergency services and toilet facilities. Longer-term planning may include ensuring provision of sufficient car parking and toilets on a permanent basis. Placing limits on the total number of visitors allowed on site or participating in an event at any one time may become necessary. Traffic congestion could be relieved by encouraging the use of public transport, cycling and walking wherever possible and introducing park and ride schemes. Gardens may need to change their planting programme as the average temperatures increase and the growing season is lengthened. Allowances must be made for an increase in the cost of maintenance of grassed areas, hedgerows and trees. Provision of extra water must be considered for use in dry periods and this could incorporate storing water from increased winter rainfall for use in the summer. The National Trust site at Wallington has set out to reduce its carbon footprint over three years. This will involve being more energy efficient, exploring the potential for renewable energy and conserving the carbon stored in soils and woodland. As well as being a major visitor attraction, Wallington is also a working agricultural estate. The Carbon Footprint Project will become part of the Wallington visitor experience and will offer opportunities for educating visitors about climate change and how they can reduce their own carbon footprint.

Regular inspections of stadium structures especially following periods of extreme weather are key to identifying any possible problems or damage. Possible measures could be considered for the safety of users of stadiums during extreme hot weather by the implementation of procedures to deliver adequate hydration during events to prevent heat exhaustion or heat stroke. More frequent watering of playing surfaces combined with shading techniques may be utilised in order to prevent excessive drying of the pitch.

To limit the attack by wood boring insects in the long term every effort should be made to adjust the environmental conditions to slow down and eventually kill off the beetle attack. If this is achieved chemical and other treatments may be needed in areas where attacks are particularly active. Pesticides have traditionally been applied as a blanket treatment and this has been the norm through insurance timber treatment certificates. This method of treatment can be useful and the application of emulsion or pastes to the surface of the timber can be effective for use with the common furniture beetle or the house longhorn beetle. Other approaches that can be used to tackle wood boring insects is biological control such as encouraging spiders and another beetle, Korynetes caeruleus. The adult beetles actually eat the eggs of wood boring insects with its larvae actually hunting down the pest larvae within the timber itself. Heat sterilisation is also a possibility but the high temperatures required for the extended periods to kill the beetles would be likely to cause severe damage to decorative and fragile timber and would not be recommended. Light traps could also be used which hand from the roof timbers and attract the adults onto sticky pads. It has been found that adult death watch beetles only readily fly in temperatures in excess of 19°C and therefore if spring temperatures were not of this order then artificial heating of the roof space may be needed to fully utilise this treatment. The principal treatment of the Castle and Cathedral currently should be the monitoring of structural timbers for the occurrence of new insect attack through the occurrence of new bore holes. New technology is available that listens for the noise made by the burrowing larvae and could be used if the occurrence of these insects was noted to be moving up the country or discovered in the region. Fungal attack will only occur where water ingress and moisture are prevalent. The continued building maintenance that is already in place should ensure that excessive water ingress is not a problem though if it does occur then it can be solved by drying out the effected area and replacing the timber if possible. To try and prevent any damage to lead flashing through its expansion due the expected increase in frequency of heatwaves and the increase in extreme temperatures should be tackled by the correct positioning of expansion joints if they are not already present.

Parks, houses and gardens could further promote visits to the site outside the peak summer season which may help reduce pressure on the facilities. More regular maintenance of footpaths and furniture to keep these assets functional and safe for visitors. Closure of footpaths most at risk of erosion, with alternative routes provided to allow damaged areas to recover. Provision of additional litter bins to minimise littering with facility for safe disposal of cigarette buts. Increasing public vigilance to the dangers of wildfires.

Gardens may need to change their planting programme as the average temperatures increase and the growing season is lengthened. Allowances must be made for an increase in the cost of maintenance of grassed areas, hedgerows and trees. Provision of extra water must be considered for use in dry periods and this could incorporate storing water from increased winter rainfall for use in the summer.
Outdoor attractions may experience a rise in visitor numbers with the increasing average temperatures, especially in summer. The reduction in summer rainfall will also contribute to growing visitor numbers in this peak season. Race meetings could be rescheduled so as not to take place in the coldest periods of the year when frost is likely. Race meetings could be started later in the day to allow more time for frost to clear. Trees could be planted to act as windbreaks, minimising the effect of wind on race meetings.

Regular inspections of stadium structures especially following periods of extreme weather are key to identifying any possible problems or damage. Possible measures could be considered for the safety of users of stadiums during extreme hot weather by the implementation of procedures to deliver adequate hydration during events to prevent heat exhaustion or heat stroke. More frequent watering of playing surfaces combined with shading techniques may be utilised in order to prevent excessive drying of the pitch.
