On March 19, the Fridays For Future Movement and Europeana Climate Action Group organized a meeting to discuss collective climate action with a focus on steps that the cultural heritage sector can take to achieve this.
As a sector, a call to action is needed to fight against climate change, and work together to protect our planet. The programme highlighted and shared the climate action work that has been done by cultural heritage professionals, as well as introduce a Climate Action Map where cultural heritage institutions and organisations can share their climate actions, whether small or large.
