There are a number of local factors related to weather and climate that contribute to the degradation of cultural heritage buildings, structures and sites over time. Some of these factors are influenced by climatic changes and others manifest themselves in an acceleration of the rate of degradation. The intention of this paper is to review this situation with special reference to the Nordic countries, where typical trends resulting from climate change are shorter winters and increased precipitation throughout the year. An attempt is made to initially develop a classification of cultural heritage relevant materials and structures that are affected, with a proposed numerical scale for urgency of action. The intention is to provide information on how best to concentrate cultural heritage conservation resources in the future.

The fuzzy buildings service life (FBSL) expert system is a software application that contributes to the preventive conservation of architectural heritage. It establishes the process of evaluation and analysis of the vulnerability and main risks of heritage buildings, managing the durability and service life according to their functionality. This work demonstrates, after a detailed study and analysis of the two main reference standards in the field of risk management, such as the international standard ISO 31000:2009 and the European standard EN 31010:2011, that the FBSL expert system has been developed complying with the specifications established in these standards.This research justifies the use of this method, based on a new expert system that predicts the future useful life of homogeneous heritage buildings around the world. This model manages the risk affecting these buildings and also complies with the aforementioned standards. Finally, the practical application of the FBSLexpert prediction system was carried out through the study of a specific architectural heritage site.
This study presents a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge, at European and international level, on the safeguarding of cultural heritage against the effects of natural disasters and man-made hazards. It also maps existing strategies and tools for disaster risk management in the 28 Member States. It also provides evidence-based recommendations to support European cooperation and improve the integration of cultural heritage into national platforms for disaster risk reduction.
