Indian Museums Against Climate Change (IMACC)

About

Driven by the urgency of the climate crisis, the IMACC is a pioneering initiative led by us to mobilise the Indian museum community. Through this initiative, we hope to create impactful, sustainable change, building a network of committed partners dedicated to integrating climate-conscious practices into museum operations.
IMACC serves as the India hub for Culture Declares Emergency, a global movement advocating for sustainability through arts and culture. It also aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 11, 12, and 13, advancing efforts towards sustainable communities, responsible consumption, and climate action.

Core Objectives

Since 2022, the IMACC initiative has partnered with 10 museums, steering them toward more sustainable practices.

Testimonials

"The sustainable practices handbook was a masterpiece. It brought an awareness to the various ways we could reduce our own carbon footprint. It will remain a useful tool in the days to come. As a member of IMACC, the changes made in our museum may seem small at this stage, but the creation of awareness of living and creating a sustainable lifestyle both at home and workspace will be long lasting."

“ReReeti inspired all museums to make a strong commitment for sustainability and guided us to take small steps towards reducing and reusing waste and choosing eco-friendly alternatives. We have started using recycled and cow dung papers for making brochures. The museum is also reusing the waste material for creating artwork for educational activities.”

In a pioneering move towards cultural stewardship, the Sustainable Practices Handbook: Transforming Museums in India, created by ReReeti in collaboration with Urban Morph, serves as the country’s first comprehensive resource for sustainable museum operations. This crucial guide fills a significant gap in the availability of sustainability resources for cultural organisations in India.
‍
Promoting eco-consciousness, ethical procurement, and carbon neutrality, the handbook offers a holistic approach to sustainability. It provides actionable strategies for addressing key areas such as vendor practices, carbon emissions reduction, waste management, and energy efficiency, empowering museums to become leaders in environmental and social responsibility.

More than a resource, the handbook is a call to action, providing cultural organisations with a practical roadmap to drive change and create a lasting impact for generations to come.
