UN Climate Week Webinar 2020 ─ Looking Ahead: A Year for Action towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

22 September 2020

08:30am

The United Nations (UN) Climate Week inspires individuals and organizations to become part of the momentum created by the global climate agreement in Paris.  It is a collaborative platform where both governments and non-governmental organizations stakeholders gather to address the gamut of relevant climate issues under one umbrella.  This webinar is co-sponsored by the American Alliance of Museums and the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Museums have enormous carbon footprints. COVID-19 led to the postponement of COP 26 to 2021. UN Climate Week 2020 provides a unique opportunity for the museum community to accelerate peer learning, expedite ongoing initiatives and jumpstart needed programs.  Come listen to this global panel of experts to celebrate what they are doing in their own region and their own community.
