CliP-ComE (Climate Protection Competences for European Historic Houses) is a two-year project funded by Creative Europe aiming at enhancing the sustainability and energy efficiency of historic houses across Europe by providing specialised training and support.
Its objectives include increasing the operational capacity of historic houses sites and their staff, improving skills in energy efficiency and climate protection, and raising awareness of the EU climate goals, such as the Green Deal and Fit for 55. Through workshops, training modules, and best practice examples, the project will help heritage professionals adopt traditional skills in modern refurbishments and promote sustainable practices. The project will also establish “Climate Protection Guards” to act as champions of climate protection within the EHH network, fostering long-term sustainability and visibility across Europe. Additionally, CliP-ComE integrates gender balance, inclusion, and diversity into its activities, creating a framework for future heritage training programmes.
