Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=490051

Whether or not they realize it, most cultural organizations are already pursuing some aspects of environmental sustainability and climate resilience work. Still, it is often hard to go beyond recycling and turning off lights, and to convince other staff to help. Hear how museum-focused networks—AAM's and ICOM's—are teaching all kinds of institutions about practices that can make them more sustainable and resilient. Share your needs and interests, and leave with ideas and tools.

Learning Objectives:

• Successfully identify the Environment & Climate Network, We Are Still In, and the ICOM Sustainability Working Group and associate them with AAM and ICOM correctly.
• Identify how to align your museum’s mission with environmental sustainability and climate resilience work.
• Creating practical and achievable opportunities and solutions that museums can use to address the climate challenge. Identify paths for finding support and partnerships to begin or advance this work at their site.
