ABSTRACT Informal learning leading to collective action around climate change continues to be controversial and piecemeal. Given the positionality of museums as public-facing institutions that address topics of social, scientific, and historical significance, we argue that the museum should be a key convener of discussions around climate change. Utilizing a framework proposed by the National Academies of the Sciences concerning community scientific literacy, as well as our own data from public convenings, we suggest a model for engagement between museums and their public(s) to advance both communication of the emergent climate data, and advocacy for collective action around climate change.

为什么是博物馆？博物馆作为气候变化召集人

摘要 导致围绕气候变化采取集体行动的非正式学习仍然存在争议和零碎。鉴于博物馆作为处理具有社会、科学和历史意义的主题的面向公众的机构的地位，我们认为博物馆应该成为围绕气候变化进行讨论的关键召集人。利用美国国家科学院提出的关于社区科学素养的框架，以及我们自己来自公众集会的数据，我们建议建立一个博物馆与其公众之间的互动模型，以促进新兴气候数据的交流，并倡导围绕气候变化采取集体行动。
