This will be a transdisciplinary summer university school on cultural landscapes in climate change. It will be mainly focused on cultural and natural landscape in Norway and on the most used material constituting its heritage- built environment i.e., wood. Notwithstanding, per each day of lesson a comparison with other landscapes in different climate zones (e.g., central Europe or the Mediterranean area) and/or other historic materials prone to climate-induced decay will be also provided. In addition to the topic of the climate change impact on cultural landscapes, several lessons will be focused on the Norwegian research directions towards application of green energy (especially solar energy that is a challenge in Scandinavian countries) and the achievement of zero emission to the built environment (here included the sub-group constituted by historical buildings).
