ABSTRACT This brief covers international climate change policies and actions spanning the last 30 years, and traces how they relate to museums’ activities. It also presents opportunities for museums to incorporate climate change into their work in order to accelerate their contributions to climate action. Estimates of the number of museums range from 55,000 to 80,000. Collectively, they have the potential to make a greater contribution to climate action than a small country, both through educational and research programmes, and through their use of resources. As institutions concerned with heritage, museums have key roles to play in addressing the defining challenge of our time, as well as an obligation to society to deliver on those roles.

不断变化的气候变化政策和博物馆

摘要 本简报涵盖了过去 30 年的国际气候变化政策和行动，并追溯了它们与博物馆活动的关系。它还为博物馆提供了将气候变化纳入其工作的机会，以加快他们对气候行动的贡献。博物馆的数量估计从 55,000 到 80,000 不等。总的来说，它们有潜力通过教育和研究计划以及资源的使用，为气候行动做出比小国更大的贡献。作为关注遗产的机构，博物馆在应对我们这个时代的决定性挑战方面发挥着关键作用，同时也对社会负有履行这些作用的义务。
