Activating Environmental Care and Strength at Museums and Historic Sites

Virtual Summit January 28-29, 2025

Environmental and climate sustainability are becoming increasingly important and urgent. This virtual summit will address how museums and historic sites are impacted by the environment and contribute to greater environmental sustainability. The summit will explore these topics from a variety of viewpoints.

Attend the summit to learn:

• Effective ways to communicate with the public about climate and the environment.
• Examples of how historic sites are becoming more sustainable.
• Tips on how to prepare your organization for a disaster and how to respond.
• Interpretation of the environment and educational programming at museums and historic sites.

Sarah Sutton, the CEO of Environment & Culture Partners and an expert on how the environment intersects with museums, will give the opening keynote. The summit will conclude with a panel discussion about how people are working to preserve the environment and historic sites and communities in Louisiana.

In addition, there will be time on both days for you to meet your peers from across the country. You’ll be able to discuss what you’ve learned and share what your museum or historic site is doing or might do to strengthen environmental sustainability.

This virtual summit is organized by the AASLH Climate and Sustainability Committee. The committee is sponsored by Lyrasis.
