Dear Climate Heritage Friends,

I’m excited to share with you the news that the Climate Heritage Network is launching its first #ClimateHeritage social media campaign. The goal of this campaign is to highlight the role of arts, culture and heritage in climate action; draw attention to the launch of the CHN MOU; and encourage organisations to sign up to the network. This campaign is designed to kick off on 17 September and run through 24 September.  This coincides with the beginning of the Global Climate Strike (20-27 September) and the UN Climate Action Summit on 23 September, among other upcoming climate events.

Attached please find a Climate Heritage Social Media Tool Kit that explains the campaign. In addition, we have prepared banners and images for your use on platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. You can find those files here. For those of you whose organisations wish to customize the images (for example, by adding your organisation’s logo), we are also providing a parallel set of illustrator files and editable powerpoint documents.  One of the goals of the CHN is to make it easier for arts, culture and heritage organisations to plug into the global climate conversation, and we hope this kit will help.

Please feel free to forward this email to your organisation’s social media team (which in many of our cases is ourselves!). Where possible, please alert your other arts, culture and heritage networks.   Remember – we are circulating the materials today but the campaign does not go live until 17 September.

A small down payment on our shared aspiration to mobilise the cultural heritage sector for climate action!

With regards,

Andrew
