Green Tea Episode 24: Climate Joy with the Climate Toolkit from the Phipps Conservatory
Check out the episode here on Spotify
The Climate Toolkit from the Phipps Conservatory aims to create and sustain momentum in climate action between cultural heritage institutions through free resources and building connections. Lindsey speaks with Andrew Lampl and Jennifer Torrance from the Phipps about their roles in developing the Toolkit's framework and resources and facilitating connections between institutions to create catalytic change. Using themes from the SDGs, each institution has free rein to build the goals and agenda's they want to work towards and join working groups built by the Phipps or internally to make sustainable changes.
Jennifer highlights her joy in working with youth climate groups to empower the next generation as they navigate growing up in a world that they know needs active change. Andrew reminds us how pivotal it is for the cultural heritage sector to take the lead towards sustainable action.
We can have such an impact on our future planet and communities when we work together. Jennifer and Andrew share how Climate Joy together can help us avoid the stagnation and inaction that comes from feeling alone in Climate Anxiety.
