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 Agenda, the 17 Sustainable 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 series of webinars with guest speakers discussing how museums build and implement their sustainable strategy.
- Developing the group's next publication (due in autumn 2026).
Next Meeting
- Will take place from 17-19 June in Salzburg and Vienna, Austria, in collaboration with the Austrian Museums Association.
- Until then learn about our previous meeting in Denmark that offered insights into how museums can work with energy, climate, and biodiversity issues.
