Museums and the Climate Crisis shows the ways in which museums are
responding, and can respond in the future, to the global climate
crisis. The inter-related crises of climate, pollution and
extinction affect everyone around the globe. Museums have a unique
role in tackling these crises because they are amongst the few
institutions that take a long-term perspective, beyond the
short-term cycles of politics and economics, and their scholarship
and independence mean that they remain trusted by the public.
Providing insights and international case studies from a range of
museum and gallery professionals, academics and consultants, this
book explores how museums can use this unique perspective to engage
the public as active citizens, and how they are exemplars of good
practice in areas such as emissions reduction and encouraging
biodiversity. It shows how museums can combat climate exhaustion by
drawing on behavioural psychology about positive motivation, and
how to develop exhibitions, events and activities that are calls to
active citizenship. A parallel strand of themes focuses on use of
renewables, environmental controls and standards, travel (including
virtual couriering), waste management including recycling, plastic
reduction, composting, reducing pollution and increasing
biodiversity within museums. Museums and the Climate Crisis will be
important reading to those studying in the fields of Museum
Studies, Heritage Studies and Conservation. Taking a practical
approach, it will also be beneficial to museum, gallery and
heritage professionals who are grappling with the challenges of the
climate crisis.
