The Routledge Handbook on Cultural Heritage and Climate Justice, Taylor & Francis Ltd, ss.99-109, 2026
This chapter argues that heritage management and climate action are never neutral: both are deeply shaped by political agendas, often reinforcing exclusion and inequality. We reflect on how justice must be placed at the core—not only in goals but in methods, alliances, and governance—across research, policy, and practice. Through examples from heritage and climate contexts, we show how colonial legacies, nationalist politics, and techno-centric framings limit adaptation efforts, while community-led, values-based, and plural approaches open possibilities for more just futures. We adapt data feminism principles to propose concrete ways to question power, embrace plurality, and bridge silos, seeing justice not as a fixed endpoint but as a continuous, sometimes uncomfortable, way of working across sectors and scales.
