"Green Museums: Tackling the Climate Crisis" presents case studies from museums within the NMDC membership across three themes: research, public engagement and greening estates and operations.

Museums use their collections, including extensive natural history and science collections, to conduct research which makes a huge contribution to fighting the climate crisis.

Programmes and exhibitions inform audiences about environmental issues and inspire them to take positive action.
Museums are reviewing their operations to reduce the environmental impacts of all activities. They are addressing this challenge using new technologies and implementing green solutions across their sites.
