So keen for this Museums and Climate Change session #Museums2020
Starting with a really tough question about the most important role for Museums in responding to the climate emergency. Why isn’t there an “All of the above”?

My only criticism of an otherwise fantastic conference is that there hasn’t been more on the Climate Emergency during #Museums2020
First up Clare Matterson @NHM_London on the importance of diversity and inclusion to tackling the Climate Emergency #Museums2020
Alison Tickell from @JuliesBicycle #Museums2020 on how difficult responding to climate change is so difficult in a business as usual context, but the rethinking that has been necessary recently has made this much more possible
“The Climate Crisis is a Cultural Crisis” Julie Tickell @JuliesBicycle

In this movement, every action matters. Every conversation, every act, every tweet. Do what you can in your sphere #Museums2020
Results of the poll are in! A third of attendees think the role of Museums should be to inform people about the urgency of climate emergency.
For me, sharing urgency isn’t enough without solutions and ways to cope.
What do you guys think?

Question from audience about stopping international tourism. For me it’s about changing the model. Supporting sustainable travel, cultivating a local audience #Museums2020
Obviously not enough time to talk about everything, but there’s a fab conference in 2 weeks organised by @nickmerriman01 @nmdcnews
