Climate change is a complex and dynamic environmental, cultural and
political phenomenon that is reshaping our relationship to nature.
Climate change is a global force, with global impacts. Viable
solutions on what to do must involve dialogues and decision-making
with many agencies, stakeholder groups and communities crossing all
sectors and scales. Current policy approaches are inadequate and
finding a consensus on how to reduce levels of greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere through international protocols has proven
difficult. Gaps between science and society limit government and
industry capacity to engage with communities to broker innovative
solutions to climate change. Drawing on leading-edge research and
creative programming initiatives, this collection details the
important roles and agencies that cultural institutions (in
particular, natural history and science museums and science
centres) can play within these gaps as resources, catalysts and
change agents in climate change debates and decision-making
processes; as unique public and trans-national spaces where diverse
stakeholders, government and communities can meet; where knowledge
can be mediated, competing discourses and agendas tabled and
debated; and where both individual and collective action might be
activated.
