Start Climate Conversations
Stromness is a small town of around 2000 people and its museum is one of the oldest independent museums in Scotland. Its collection comprises ethnographic, social history, maritime and natural history collections. Katy and her team have been working to use the collections as a springboard to start climate conversations. This outreach and interpretation activity begun after COP26 in Glasgow and has continued ever since. Katy will describe the award-winning Changes in a Lifetime: Climate Cafes project and elaborate on this project’s legacy.
