Supporting @smithsonian colleagues at the #ClimateSTT Symposium today and tomorrow. Excited to learn how we can all make a difference!

“We can’t do our jobs if we aren’t taking care of the environment”- great presentations happening today! #ClimateSTT

Carl Elefante, principal emeritus, Quinn Evans Architects, discussed how our built heritage is both a resource & a challenge: stressing the importance of immediate action to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement & encouraging the reimagining of historic buildings. #ClimateSTT

"Climate change is a process, not an event - and we are already deep into this process." Archaeologist Isabel Rivera-Collazzo. #ClimateSTT #ClimateHeritage

🌍 Today & tomorrow, join the global convo about climate change & cultural heritage by following #ClimateSTT for tweets from the @smithsonian’s ‘Stemming The Tide’ conf (9-5pm, 5 March) & the @IIC_’s ‘Point of the Matter Dialogue’ (5:30pm, 6 Mar). All times EST. #ClimateHeritage

Strategies of engagement for climate action from Dr. Nicole Heller #ClimateSTT #ClimateHeritage

The day was closed by Alison Tickell of @JuliesBicycle, who discussed the need for the cultural sector to be conscious of their own footprint & fluent in the climate conversation so that cultural heritage professionals can fully participate as advocates for action. #ClimateSTT

Carl Elefante, inspirational preservation architect and #ClimateHeritage leader, #ClimateSTT #BuiltHeritage breakout session

🌍Putting #ClimateHeritage centre stage! We are proud to support the @smithsonian’s ‘Stemming The Tide’ conf (9-5pm, 5 March) & the @IIC_’s ‘Point of the Matter Dialogue’ (5:30pm, 6 March). All times EST. Watch both via live streaming at: https://t.co/U2P1Y3rRBz #ClimateSTT

What an inspiration to hear Dr Victoria Herrmann speak about preserving community in the face of climate migration. #ClimateSTT #ClimateHeritage

Nicole Heller, curator of Anthropocene Studies, @CarnegieMNH, provided a museums & collections perspective, & encouraged all cultural heritage institutions to “walk the walk” & find an authentic & relevant way to engage their audiences with climate action. #ClimateSTT

Following on an exciting first day at the Smithsonian for #ClimateSTT we are starting a work group on #culturallandscapes and the intersection of #ClimateHeritage Smithsonian Museum of Natural History

There is no line between land & water - Reed Hilderbrand. Is it possible to change a national policy culture away from containing nature to living with water? #climateSTT #EarthOptimism

Prior to tomorrow’s breakout sessions, @AndrewSPotts acknowledged the day’s extraordinary speakers & encouraged participants to consider how to “make cultural heritage a usual part of climate action” as they move forward. #ClimateSTT

Julianne Polanco - together we are stronger. That is my optimism facing the climate crisis. In CA we have a task force to identify how heritage can play a role to rise ambition and find innovative solutions #ClimateSTT #climateHeritage

"We need to bridge the gap between concern and engagement" #ClimateSTT #ClimateAction #climateHeritage

#ClimateSTT really enjoying the live feed and the thought provoking speakers. Interested to hear about climate fatigue and the idea of pitching this as an opportunity to improve lives. 'IF WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN THE SAME WAY PEOPLE START TO CLOSE THEIR EARS TO IT'

"Climate change is a human problem. We have to find human solutions, we need to activate heritage. We need to dismantle extractive empires and build regenerative cultures, & we need culture & art to contribute to that process changing the world" @JB_Alison #ClimateSTT

Time is the most precious commodity of all, and we’re running out of it. Time to #ActOnClimate together, equitably, and quickly. #climateSTT

#Heritage at #Risk: fantastic panel discussion w/ @AndrewSPotts @greenmuseum @JuliesBicycle & more, to talk how to engage #CulturalHeritage for #ClimateAction @smithsonian #ClimateSTT
