Join COSTEP MA (Coordinated Statewide Emergency Preparedness Massachusetts) on Thursday, October 3, at 12 pm for a free webinar to learn more about about how cultural institutions in Massachusetts can begin developing a climate action plan to protect their collections and the often historic buildings they are stored in. Presenters will highlight available resources, planning opportunities, and case studies. There will be time for questions at the end of the hour.
Featured presenters will be:
Dee Boyle-Clapp, Director of the Arts Extension Service at UMass Amherst, will highlight some of the work being done through her pilot project, Culture for Climate Action, which includes trainings for arts and culture organizations in partnership with State Arts Agencies, and direct work with three Massachusetts-based arts organizations and UMass Clean Energy Extension, to transform energy use and serve as a climate leader in their communities.
Ben Lewis, Geospatial Technology Manager at Harvard University’s Center for Geographic Analysis
Ben Haavik, Team Leader of Property Care for Historic New England, will showcase their Climate Action Plan highlighting aspects of the process that were based on existing or free resources.
