ABSTRACT

Through participatory dialogue processes, museums can inform communities and visitors about key issues and also equip them with the knowledge to participate in public debates and actions around climate change. Museums and science and technology centers, especially in their communication and education roles, often enjoy high levels of trust by audiences and visitors.1 The sector therefore has a role to play in supporting the creation and transformation of political and public consensus, enabling visitors to feel increased agency in developing responses from local to global scales to the uncertainties aroused by climate change.2
