Founded in 2022 by ReReeti Foundation, Indian Museums Against Climate Change (IMACC) is the Indian international hub of Culture Declares Emergency (CDE), which is a growing global movement of people in arts and culture who believe that the cultural sector can take the lead in creating a regenerative future that protects the planet.
In its second year of establishment, IMACC is launching the ‘Sustainable Practices: Handbook for Museums in India’, a manual which will guide museums across the country in adopting sustainable practices in their operations, on September 14. This handbook is an extension of the work that CDE and IMACC have been doing at the intersection of climate and culture and the gaps in sustainability that exist in the museum sector. It has been created by Urban Morph and ReReeti Foundation, as part of the larger Culture Declares Emergency movement.
