Arts and crafts, as a form of tangible cultural heritage, are facing significant threats from climate change-induced disasters. Climate change can impact raw materials, making them scarce or unavailable for artisans. Extreme weather events can also damage or destroy workshops and artisan communities, forcing people to abandon their crafts. Climate change can also threaten intangible heritage, like the knowledge and practices passed down through generations that are essential for the continuation of traditional crafts. This can lead to the loss of traditional techniques and the decline of artistic skills.
