Abstract
Drawing on cutting-edge research and creative programming initiatives, this collection details the important role that museums, in their various forms, can play within these gaps. Climate Change and Museum Futures explores how museums can act as resources, catalysts, and change agents in climate change debates and decision-making processes. The volume is also interested in how museums provide unique public and transnational spaces where diverse stakeholders, government, and communities can meet, mediate knowledge, table, and debate competing discourses and agendas, and create openings for individual and collective action.
