This chapter provides a fresh perspective on cultural heritage damage: by creating a new framework to consider risk to cultural heritage, it provides a first step to approach damage mitigation and prevention more effectively. Damage occurs in a range of contexts: existing studies have examined specific actors and their motivations, specific heritage types, damage types, areas, and/or circumstances across the cycle of peace and conflict. Using the ABC Risk Management Approach as a departure point, this chapter untangles and explores the key facets of damage studies to understand the problem holistically: who are the stakeholders in destruction; what is lost; when does it occur; where is it most likely to occur; how does it occur; and why is it destroyed, placing them in a comparable framework. By understanding their interrelation, broad risk drivers are established, along with the magnifying and reducing factors that affect them, providing a detailed view of potential risks to sites and enabling cross-comparison to develop understanding of risk of loss to cultural heritage, and in doing so, providing steps towards prioritising mitigation.
