Little wonder then that the online conference held on 30 September 2021 with the title "Ecomuseums and Climate Action" attracted more than one hundred participants from countries whose communities are facing these problems. This book presents the results of this conference where heritage experts, community activists, curators, politicians and academics from several countries, explored how ecomuseums and community museums are acting as catalysts for transition, renewal, and sustainable development and how they might effectively contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. How can these organisations best contribute to the debate about the climate crisis and promote local action? Central to those actions are encouraging local people to recognise how important their cultural, natural and intangible cultural heritage is in making places special and giving a sense of belonging, why that heritage should be sustained, and how heritage assets can be used to promote climate action. This book - with its remarkable collection of essays from around the world - demonstrates how small local actions, considered together, can have a dramatic and far-reaching impact. It will be warmly welcomed by anyone interested in climate action, heritage and museum studies, and environmental issues. They sustain the global economy, set cultural trends, produce greenhouse gas emissions and consume energy; they attract migration flows and foster new political waves. While cities were supposed to be declining back in the 1980s, the globalised economy has established them as crucial world hubs leading billions of people on every continent, both at the top and the bottom of the social ladder, to move to cities. Today, global cities cry out for a more prominent role. But why and to what extent do they matter? Can they really stand alone in the global arena? How are they interacting with governments and multilateral organisations? From climate change to connectivity, from inequalities to migration: what is their contribution to key global challenges?" 410 $aInterventions 606 $aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban 615 0$aSocial sciences. 702 $aBorrelli$b Nunzia 702 $aDavis$b Peter 702 $aDal Santo$b Raul 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910832995603321 996 $aEcomuseums and Climate Change$93087741 997 $aUNINA
