Curating Museum Collections for Climate Change Mitigation

该项目旨在调查博物馆藏品如何能够被策划以支持减缓气候变化，其中许多博物馆藏品都与澳大利亚支持国家经济增长的高排放部门有着千丝万缕的联系。该项目汇集了地球化学、博物馆学、环境人文学、土著知识和教育等学科，预计将通过创新方案增强应用艺术与科学博物馆的气候行动能力。它的好处包括开发新的基于收藏的气候研究，其中包括澳大利亚土著人在内的多方利益攸关方的观点，并建立博物馆提高公众气候素养的能力。

The Project aims to investigate how museum collections, many of which have histories entangled in Australia’s high emission sectors that supported the nation’s economic growth, can be curated to support climate change mitigation. Drawing together the disciplines of biogeochemistry, museology, environmental humanities, Indigenous knowledge and education, the Project anticipates enhancing the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences' capacity for climate action through innovative programs. Its benefits include developing new collections-based climate research which incorporate the perspectives of multi-stakeholders, including Indigenous Australians, and builds museums' capacity to grow public climate literacy.
