Climate action at Museums Galleries Scotland
Alex Smith currently works with the Scotland museum sector and the wider culture and environmental sectors to support museums in becoming more sustainable. He also helps these institutions to engage with communities for climate action.
Smith comes from a science background and has previous experience in local government climate work and sustainable development policy.
Alex will be talking about his work as Climate Officer for Museums Galleries Scotland, in surveying the sector and developing strategies for climate action.
Alex will be speaking at 2pm BST on 25 April. He will be joined in the session by Judy Mann and Helen Lockhart from Two Oceans Aquarium who will be talking about WAZA’s Carbon Guide and other resources. This session will be useful for anyone looking to measure their carbon footprint or developing a carbon reduction strategy for their organisation.
Why should you attend greenloop?
Last year at greenloop 2022, we heard from leading operators about the need to decarbonise and become more sustainable. This year’s conference will provide actionable, practical advice and case studies for attendees, with information that you can put into practice after being inspired by industry leaders.
When it comes to solving really big challenges, like how do we build sustainable theme parks, resorts and cruise ships around the world, it takes all of us and all of these different industries coming together.
And that’s what’s great about greenloop … our collaboration is key to really think about how we build sustainable themed entertainment experiences.
Emily Dow, Design Studio Executive with Walt Disney Imagineering at greenloop 2021
Be connected with sustainability leaders from across the visitor attractions industry from around the world to help us move more quickly towards a sustainable future.
greenloop is a must-attend event, crossing boundaries to bring together really thought-provoking insights and ideas around the way visitor attractions can not only minimise their environmental impact on the planet, but also act as catalysts for positive change.
I cannot think of another event which goes near greenloop as a concentrated dollop of practical green inspiration – a must-attend for several of our team.
Dominic Hare, CEO Blenheim
