Accelerating environmental leadership of the cultural sector by modeling and messaging climate action
About us
Environment & Culture Partners (ECP) is a non-profit climate agency on a mission to accelerate environmental leadership of the cultural sector. The global cultural sector has a significant role to play in responding to the climate crisis, but many are often overwhelmed with information and ambiguity, and see no clear path forward. We empower museums, zoos, gardens, aquariums and historic sites to implement evidence-based environment and climate solutions by providing the knowledge and skills needed to influence change, the partnership needed to do the work, and the voice to advocate for culture in every climate conversation. We always do this work in collectives: groups of institutions that are changing their practice or learning new practices, or teams of professionals and the public who are working together to understand new issues and develop solutions. This means helping other sectors understand the work of the cultural sector, and supporting cross-sector/multi-sector partnerships for smarter solutions. The rate of change when working with only one institution at a time is much too slow for the climate crisis. Our work spans three pillars: Capacity Building, Engagement, and Representation. Flagship programs include the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative, Culture Over Carbon, Climate Resilience Resources for Cultural Heritage, Caretakers of Wonder, and leading the Cultural Sector of America Is All In. ECP was founded in 2021 by Sarah Sutton, CEO and Stephanie Shapiro, Managing Director.

Mission-oriented climate action allows environmentally sustainable practice to embed in daily activities and operations. Way to go Cleveland Museum of Art! The project was made possible in part with funding from the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation's #FrankenthalerClimateInitiative. https://lnkd.in/gZdZQ4_2
“What I really love about museum conservation, art conservation, and nature conservation is that we’re actually trying to do the same thing. We’re trying to make the resources we have at hand be sustainable for future generations.” — Sarah Scaturro, Co-Chief Conservator at the Cleveland Museum of Art From zoos to aquariums and even museums, cultural institutions play an important role in driving meaningful #ClimateAction. With support from Environment & Culture Partners and the #FrankenthalerClimateInitiative, the Cleveland Museum of Art overhauled its conservation suite's climate control systems and is now able to better care for and protect their art collections, save an estimated $40,000 a year, and reduce the museum's carbon footprint.
