Museums as Storytellers and Conveners on Climate Change As trusted institutions, museums have a unique opportunity to educate the public and spark meaningful discussions about the urgent issue of climate change. Join us for a one-hour webinar exploring how museums can leverage their roles as storytellers and community conveners to advance understanding and action on this global challenge. 

Our panel of experts will share successful approaches, programs, and partnerships that museums have implemented to bring the issues of a changing climate to life for diverse audiences. You will learn how museums are surfacing complex climate science in engaging, accessible ways through their exhibits, educational offerings, and public programs. Case studies will demonstrate how museums have convened cross-sector collaborations and community conversations that move climate discussions beyond awareness to real world solutions.
