Produced by Alberta Museums Association (AMA), the ‘Taking Action Against Climate Change’ video series is intended to raise awareness of climate change and support the global museum community in taking an active role in the fight against climate change.

The videos include practical examples of how individuals can take proactive action to address climate issues, which are hopeful and engaging. They demonstrate not only what museums are doing to mitigate their carbon footprints, but also how individuals and other institutions can contribute to positive changes by making sustainable choices.
