Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) Assessment for St Kilda World Heritage Site

This report describes the outcomes from an application of the Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) for the St Kilda World Heritage property, the first application undertaken anywhere in the world for a mixed heritage property.

The CVI is a methodology developed to rapidly assess climate impacts - both to Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and the associated ‘community’ (local, domestic and international) - for all types of World Heritage properties (natural, cultural or mixed). This report is the fourth in a series of CVI assessments covering World Heritage Sites in Scotland
