Abstract: This thematic issue explores the role of heritage conservation in climate mitigation and adaptation by examining the convergences between retrofitting heritage buildings, the circular economy, urban revitalisation, sustainable communities, and sense of place. The diverse contributions focus on the place of heritage in circular economy policies, retrofitting, and climate adaptation. Collectively, the articles set out the contribution of heritage conservation as a resource for economic growth, employment, and social cohesion, and as a form of climate action by diverse actors at different scales in the low‐carbon transition.
