This working group contributes to the sustainable development of the European museums through research and advocacy and provides a space to exchange knowledge and experiences aligned with tackling the climate crisis.
Our Actions
- We contribute to the sustainable development research and best practice within the European museum sector.
- We advocate NEMO’s key messages on the 2030 Sustinable Development Goals and other relevant initiatives.
- We keep NEMO’s members well informed about opportunities to take action on climate and offer expertise to help them organise their organisation's sustainable transition.
- We arrange study visits to learn about museum and other cultural heritage organisations addressing their carbon footprint and reaching their sustainable goals.
- We organise meetings and special programmes with guest speakers during NEMO’s annual conference.
We are currently working on...
- Developing a methodology enabling museums to engage with communities on critical issues, including climate action, through initiatives such as citizen assemblies.
- Developing a sustainability self-assessment tool and organising a European training program on sustainability.
Next Meeting
- Will take place in connection to NEMO's European Museum Conference 2024 from 10-12 November in Sibiu, Romania.
- Until then learn about our previous meeting in Slovenia that offered insights into sustainable development, social welfare and citizen assemblies in museums.
