ABSTRACT Museums have inherent capabilities, resources, and opportunities that position them to influence public responses to climate change. Using examples from diverse museum-types, Sutton highlights innovative ways in which energy efficient practices and thoughtful approaches to engaging communities with collections, exhibitions and programs can increase climate literacy and call people to action. Sutton argues that these bright spots in the sector’s work signal capacity but not widespread commitment. The result is a slow process of aligning resources and talents of museums toward this global fight. During 2020, as the World and the sector reels from the impacts of COVID-19, museum actions mirror many responses appropriate in the climate crisis. Sutton suggests that these build the sector’s ability and appetite to help communities. As nations emerge with recovery plans that could create a healthier, more just and resilient society, museums have the opportunity to influence that work, thereby magnifying positive impacts.

气候变化时期博物馆工作责任的演变

摘要 博物馆具有内在的能力、资源和机会，可以影响公众对气候变化的反应。Sutton 使用来自不同类型博物馆的例子，重点介绍了节能实践和使社区参与收藏、展览和计划的深思熟虑的方法可以提高气候素养并呼吁人们采取行动的创新方式。萨顿认为，该部门工作中的这些亮点表明能力不足，但并不代表广泛的承诺。结果是将博物馆的资源和人才用于这场全球斗争的过程缓慢。在 2020 年，随着世界和该行业受到 COVID-19 的影响，博物馆的行动反映了许多适用于气候危机的应对措施。萨顿建议，这些可以培养该部门帮助社区的能力和兴趣。
