dc.description.abstract	Climate change varies from temperature increases, to changes in humidity cycles, to increased frequency and severity of extreme events. The known and predicted effects of this change on the archaeological heritage, both that which is known and that which is still buried, will be summarised in this paper. A synopsis of the main reports and recommendations by UNESCO and ICOMOS, the two main international players where the safeguarding of heritage properties is concerned, will be given, with special emphasis on how these affect archaeological sites, and how these measures can actually be put into practice. Finally, current actions for the conservation of a World Heritage site which may be affected by climate change – a case study – will be discussed.	en_GB
