ICOM Statement: Museums and Climate Activism

Following the recent climate activism actions in museums, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) wishes to acknowledge and share both the concerns expressed by museums regarding the safety of collections and the concerns of climate activists as we face an environmental catastrophe that threatens life on Earth.

ICOM sees the choice of museums as a backdrop for these climate protests as a testament of their symbolic power and relevance in the discussions around the climate emergency.
