Online lecture on Confronting Climate Change at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Butrint in Albania
18:30-19.30 GMT
An extensive archaeological site in southern Albania, Butrint was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site List in 1992. The excellent preservation of the surviving monuments, below-ground archaeology, and the surrounding landscape reveals an intricate history of human interaction with the environment, dating from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman era.
