博物馆、可持续性与美好生活 (Museums, Sustainability and Wellbeing)
博物馆对于构建美好生活与社会可持续发展具有关键性作用。博物馆是我们所共有的社会结构中值得信赖的机构和重要组成部分,它们处于独特地位,能够创造连锁效应,促进积极变革。博物馆可以通过多种方式助力实现可持续发展目标:从支持气候行动和促进包容性,到应对社交隔阂和改善心理健康。
正如国际博协2019年京都大会 “关于可持续性与实施联合国2030年可持续发展议程,改变我们的世界” 决议中所强调的那样,所有的博物馆都能在创造构建可持续未来中发挥作用,它们可以通过教育项目、陈列展览、社区活动和研究来实现这一目标。
自2020年,每年的国际博物馆日都对联合国可持续发展目标中的部分内容进行了积极响应。2023年,我们将重点关注:
目标3 良好健康与福祉:确保健康的生活方式,促进各年龄段人群的福祉,特别关注心理健康和社交隔阂问题。
目标13 气候行动:采取紧急行动应对气候变化及其影响,在北半球采取低碳实践,同时在南半球采取温室气体减排策略。
目标15 陆地生物:保护、恢复和促进陆地生态系统的可持续利用,强化当地领导者的发言权,提升对生物多样性丧失的认知。
5月18日,我们鼓励社会全体成员团结起来,充分发挥出博物馆致力可持续发展与美好生活的变革潜力!

The theme for the 2023 International Museum Day edition (May 18) is Museums, Sustainability and Wellbeing.
Museums are key contributors to the wellbeing and to the sustainable development of our communities. As trusted institutions and important threads in our shared social fabric, they are uniquely placed to create a cascading effect to foster positive change. There are many ways in which museums can contribute to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals: from supporting climate action and fostering inclusivity, to tackling social isolation and improving mental health.
As highlighted in the ICOM Resolution “On sustainability and the implementation of Agenda 2030, Transforming our World” (Kyoto, 2019), all museums have a role to play in shaping and creating sustainable futures, and they can do this through educational programmes, exhibitions, community outreach and research.
Each year since 2020, the International Museum Day supports a set of Goals from the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. In 2023, we will focus on:
Goal 3 Global Health and Wellbeing: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, in particular concerning mental health and social isolation.
Goal 13 Climate Action: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, adopting low-carbon practices in the Global North and mitigation strategies in the Global South.
Goal 15 Life on Land: Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, amplifying the voices of indigenous leaders and raising awareness on the loss of biodiversity.
On May 18th, we encourage all members of the civil society to come together and realise the full transformative potential that museums have for sustainable development and wellbeing!
