The Danish Museums Association’s Green Academy of Museums has launched a new tool to help museums enhance their environmental sustainability efforts. This tool, based on a "staircase model," provides a structured approach for museums to assess and improve their sustainability practices across eight key areas, including energy, water, and biodiversity. By using this model, museums can identify areas for improvement, prioritize impactful actions, and contribute positively to environmental conservation. The tool aims to balance economic, social, and environmental considerations, promoting sustainable development within the museum sector.
