ABSTRACT The first decade of the twenty-first century has seen a growing recognition that widespread impacts of climate change (erosion, sea level rise, wildfires, warming soil temperatures) are rapidly destroying archaeological sites and permanently wiping out millennia of cultural heritage and important scientific data on a global scale. This paper provides a brief overview of the efforts of the international archaeological community and its allies to organise a broad and coordinated response to this widespread and urgent threat to our basic record by mobilising at the local, national and international level. The work of the archaeological professional societies has supplemented a growing host of initiatives on multiple scales by national and local governmental agencies, regional research teams, local and Indigenous heritage groups and the international global change scientific community. This paper provides some reflections on the Society for American Archaeology’s Climate Change Strategies and the Archaeological Record team effort from 2015 to 2018, some links to more contacts and resources and some suggestions for future directions.

摘要在二十一世纪的前十年，人们越来越认识到，气候变化的广泛影响（侵蚀，海平面上升，野火，土壤温度升高）正在迅速摧毁考古遗址，并永久消灭几千年的文化遗产和重要的科学知识。全球范围内的数据。本文简要概述了国际考古界及其盟友通过在地方，国家和国际层面上动员起来，对这一对我们基本记录的广泛而紧急的威胁作出广泛而协调的反应的努力。考古专业学会的工作补充了国家和地方政府机构，区域研究小组，当地和土著文化遗产团体和国际全球变化科学界。本文对美国考古学会的气候变化策略和考古记录团队在2015年至2018年之间的工作提供了一些思考，提供了更多联系和资源的链接，并对未来的发展方向提出了建议。
