Museums play a crucial role in addressing the interconnected global climate, biodiversity, and pollution crises. With their long-term perspective and commitment to scholarship and independence, they maintain the trust of the public. This book explores how museums can leverage their unique position to engage the public as active citizens and exemplify best practices in areas such as emissions reduction and biodiversity promotion. It provides insights and international case studies from museum and gallery professionals, academics, and consultants.
The book examines how museums can use their perspective to motivate visitors to take action against climate exhaustion. It discusses strategies for developing exhibitions, events, and activities that encourage visitors to adopt sustainable practices. By drawing on understandings of positive motivation, museums can create a sense of urgency and inspire individuals to make positive changes in their daily lives.
Furthermore, the contributions extend beyond climate issues to encompass the use of renewable energy sources, environmental controls and standards, travel (including virtual couriering), waste management (including recycling, plastic reduction, and composting), and reducing pollution and increasing biodiversity within museums.
Museums and the Climate Crisis is a valuable resource for students studying Museum Studies, Heritage Studies, and Conservation. It offers a practical approach to addressing the challenges posed by the climate crisis, and will be of interest to museum, gallery, and heritage professionals seeking to navigate this complex landscape.
