When others believe that environmental sustainably and climate change response are too much for museums to tackle, we respond that economics and politics, environments and climate are also complex, dynamic systems. They are subject to all sorts of influences, including those from museums. Museum professionals can choose to influence these systems or merely narrate them. • If we only point and talk, then our influence will be limited. • If we inspire people and activate individual and collective agency, then our influence grows. • If we contribute our abilities to co-creating new approaches across and beyond traditional geographic boundaries, then our influence becomes global. *This quote and some of this material was developed for a collaborative article in Curator: The Museum Journal, Museums and the Future of a Just Verdant & Peaceful World.
