ICOM Establishes New Working Group on Sustainability

Further information
In the press release presenting the Working Group on Sustainability, ICOM argues that as representative of the global museum community, its vision is a world where the importance of natural and cultural heritage is universally valued. "Today, more than ever, museums face unique challenges related to social, economic, and ecological issues. While serving as witnesses of the past and guardians of humanity’s treasures for future generations, museums play a key role in development through education and democratisation." Museums offer an existing global infrastructure. They are uniquely placed to facilitate collective action by building networks, raising public awareness, and supporting research and knowledge creation. They can enhance sustainability and climate change education by working with and empowering communities to bring about change to ensure an habitable planet, social justice and equitable economic exchanges for the long term.
