Summary
Climate change and extreme weather events pose significant threats to the preservation of heritage sites, including Khalifatabaad's ancient mosque in Bangladesh. Research using the DPSIR framework reveals that tropical cyclones, sea-level rise, and waterlogging are primary drivers of structural deterioration, causing both short-term and long-term damage. The study highlights the urgent need for adaptive conservation strategies to protect these UNESCO-listed sites from environmental stressors.
