Our proposed framework will perform combined structural/geotechnical analysis of the CH sites and damage assessment under normal and changed conditions, based on the cli-matic zone, the micro-climate conditions, the petrographic and textural features of building materials, historic data for the structures, the effect of previous restoration processes and the environmental/physical characteristics of the surrounding envi-ronment. Applying atmospheric modelling for specific CC scenarios at such refined spatial and time scales allows for an accurate quantitative and qualitative impact as-sessment of the estimated micro-climatic and atmospheric stressors.

Towards this direction, the proposed framework aims to introduce a research framework for downscaling the created climate and atmospheric composition as well as associated risk maps down to the 1x1 km (historic area) scale, and specific damage functions for CH ma-terials. Our proposed framework aims to efficiently train a network of fellows on the field of the resilience of Cultural Heritage (CH) areas and historic cities against Climate Change (CC) and other types of hazards. In, the authors exploited infrared thermography to diagnose materials decay taking into account different historical periods.This approach is used as a tool in the diagnostic level, for the detection of invisible superficial cracks or/and disparities, as well as the revelation of moisture presence within structures. The role of non-destructive testing in providing crucial information to address these challenges is becoming more valuable, especially as the technological advancements enable non-destructive data to be fully integrated in a 3D approach of understanding the structure and the impact of the environment on the asset. A series of significant scientific challenges regards the effective assessment of the state of preservation of the cultural heritage assets, the diagnosis of their deterioration mechanisms and the prevailing environmental phenomena that cause damage to the surfaces and the structure of the heritage assets, as well as the evaluation of the detrimental effect of past inefficient protection or rehabilitation interventions.
