Mighty Academic Museums/Galleries and University Climate Pledges

Wednesday, November 2, 2022 – 12PM EDT

In association with AAM’s Environment and Climate Network, this webinar will discuss both the unique internally directed and externally focused efforts that academic museums and galleries can consider; how to contribute to community education about sustainability and environmental justice while also working to alter internal policies, transition facilities and infrastructure, and begin to address Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions while providing valuable data as they undertake divestment and campus-wide conversions from fossil fuels. This session will also explore how campus sustainability or energy offices can support museums in making transitions and what we, as a field, can do to inform and advocate for the role of museums in this process.
