Curating Museum Collections for Climate Change Mitigation

该项目旨在调查如何对博物馆藏品进行管理，以支持缓解气候变化。其中许多藏品的历史与澳大利亚的高排放部门有关，这些部门支撑着该国的经济增长。该项目汇集了生物地球化学、博物馆学、环境人文科学、土著知识和教育等学科，预计将通过创新计划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以收藏为基础的气候研究，纳入包括土著澳大利亚人在内的多方利益攸关方的观点，并建设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.
