Climate communication & action at science engagement institutions was a hot topic at the #Ecsite2023. From art & science to collaborations, from recommendations on best practices for communication to practical tips for your retail shops... Conference participants had many opportunities to exchange on a topic that is so urgent to our community.
As part of Ecsite's Environmental Emergency Action supporting member organisations in their environmental sustainability efforts, we encouraged speakers from #Ecsite2023 who discussed the biodiversity and climate emergency to share the lasting impact of their sessions with both Conference participants and Ecsite members.
We've compiled the session legacies in a dedicated resource section. You'll find:
- Climate and biodiversity: from Blah Blah Blah to Impact: session summary by convenor Brad Irwin
- Cultural collaboration on the Planetary Emergency: session summary by participant Claire Pillsbury
- Critical change through Art & Science: session summary & reflections by convenor Mairéad Hurley
- Potential for aesthetic and emotional engagement with science: short video by Marianne Achiam and Sabrina Vitting-Seerup
- Imagining the perfect exhibition on the climate and energy crisis: session summary by the speakers
- Sustainable science retail shops: short overview with slideshow & contact details
- Exploring and strengthening our impact related to climate and biodiversity: session summary by convenor Nils Petter Hauan & speakers
Some sessions are missing, but feel free to contact Ecsite's Strategic Project Manager if you'd like to access the slideshows or contact the session convenor and/or speakers.
And of course, don't forget to (re)watch Rob Hopkins Keynote speech at #Ecsite2023 for a boost of inspiration and encouragement if you too are working or touched by the climate and biodiversity emergency.
