Kuhusu Zana ya Hali ya Hewa

Soma Barua ya Kukaribisha kutoka kwa Richard Piacentini, Rais na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

Zana ya Hali ya Hewa ni fursa ya ushirikiano kwa makumbusho, bustani, zoo, vituo vya sayansi, vituo vya asili, vituo vya shamba na taasisi zinazohusiana zinazotaka kujifunza jinsi ya kushughulikia kwa ukali mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ndani ya mashirika yao wenyewe na kuhamasisha jamii wanazohudumia kufuata mwongozo wao.

Hivi sasa, Zana ya Hali ya Hewa inakumbatia mabao thelathini na tatu kwa ajili ya kushughulikia mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ndani ya kategoria za nishati, maji, taka, huduma ya chakula, usafiri, mandhari na kilimo cha bustani, uwekezaji, ushiriki na utafiti. Malengo yaliamuliwa kupitia mchakato wa ushirikiano na maoni kutoka kwa washiriki wa kikundi cha Wakurugenzi wa Bustani Kubwa. Malengo yatabadilika kulingana na mchango wa wanachama kwa muda; tunahimiza uwasilishaji wa masasisho kuhusu juhudi zozote zinazohusiana na hali ya hewa - iwe kutoka kwa orodha iliyopo ya malengo au zaidi - kutoka kwa washiriki wote.

Malengo ya Zana ya Hali ya Hewa yameundwa ili kuendana na zote mbili Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu ya Umoja wa Mataifa (kama ukilinganisha hapa) na Jedwali la Mchoro wa Mradi wa Suluhisho (kama ukilinganisha hapa).

Taasisi za Umma ambazo tayari zimekamilisha malengo maalum zinahimizwa hati maendeleo yao kwa kubainisha malengo ambayo wameyakamilisha na malengo gani wanapanga kuyakamilisha katika siku zijazo. Wale ambao tayari wamekamilisha malengo wanaweza kuchukua jukumu la uongozi katika kusaidia wengine kwa kuelezea juhudi zao katika nyaraka za rasilimali, mahojiano na mawasilisho.

Wanachama wote wa Toolkit wanaweza kufikia Blogu ya Zana, majarida, na mfululizo wa robo mwaka wa mtandao, ambao wote utakuwa na hadithi za kazi muhimu ambayo taasisi zinafanya kushughulikia malengo mbalimbali ya Zana na kutoa nyenzo muhimu.

Kanuni za Zana ya Hali ya Hewa: Shiriki. Mshauri. Jifunze.

SHIRIKI

Kila mshiriki wa Zana ya Hali ya Hewa anahimizwa KUSHIRIKI maendeleo yao kwa kukamilisha mipango yao tarajiwa ya kushughulikia zaidi mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa.

MENTOR

Mashirika ambayo tayari yamekamilisha lengo yanahimizwa kuwa msikivu kwa wale wanaohitaji MENTOR ili kuwasaidia kufikia malengo sawa.

JIFUNZE

Washirika wanahimizwa kutumia Zana ya Hali ya Hewa KUJIFUNZA njia za ziada wanazoweza kushughulikia mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa kutoka kwa wenzao, masomo na fasihi ya kitaaluma ili kukuza athari zao na kupunguza athari zao za mazingira.

Zana ya Hali ya Hewa imewasilishwa kwa ushirikiano na Muungano wa Marekani wa Makumbusho, Chama cha Bustani za Umma cha Marekani, Muungano wa Vituo vya Sayansi na Teknolojia, Kimataifa ya Uhifadhi wa Bustani za Botaniki, na Shirika la Vituo vya Uga wa Biolojia.

What people are saying about the Climate Toolkit

DUKE FARMS

“Duke Farms, a Center of the Doris Duke Foundation, has proudly embraced the Climate Toolkit as a powerful resource for collective action on climate change. As a leader in sustainable practices and applied conservation, Duke Farms finds immense value in the Toolkit’s comprehensive framework, which aligns with our strategic pillars of restoring ecosystems, demonstrating equitable climate transition strategies, and engaging leaders for systemic change​​.

Through the Toolkit, we’ve engaged in conversations and shared strategies that align with several of the 33 Climate Toolkit goals, including achieving energy self-sufficiency via our solar array and battery energy storage system, advancing biodiversity through habitat restoration, and hosting thought leadership events that inspire climate action. The shared platform offers a unique opportunity to compare notes with like-minded organizations, enhancing our ability to innovate and adapt​​.

We see the Climate Toolkit as not just a resource, but a community—a network that amplifies collective impact and drives measurable progress.”

— Jon Wagar, Deputy Executive Director

HOLDEN FORESTS & GARDENS

“Holden Forests and Gardens has significantly benefited from its partnership with the Climate Toolkit Initiative, gaining access to valuable resources and guidance that have strengthened our sustainability efforts. Through this collaboration, we have successfully implemented strategies to minimize our environmental footprint and foster climate resilience within our community.”

— Beck Thompson, Education Manager at Holden Arboretum

SCIENCE MUSEUM OF MINNESOTA

“Museums, gardens, zoos, science centers, nature centers, and field stations know that human-caused climate change is urgent but how should we respond to this Hydra-headed crisis? The Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens’ Climate Toolkit is a great resource for all of us who want to learn together about how to aggressively address climate change within our institutions and the communities we serve.”

— Pat Hamilton, Manager of Climate and Sustainability Initiatives

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM OF UTAH

“The Climate Toolkit webinar series is a great tool for building the capacity of public institutions to engage in effective climate work. It allows partners to share success stories with colleagues from a broad range of organizations and fosters new connections between them. After I presented the climate communication strategies the Natural History Museum of Utah is testing in its new climate exhibit at a Climate Toolkit webinar, I received emails from several people I hadn’t met before and would not have encountered in my usual natural history museum circles. One of the conversations that followed has laid the ground for a new collaboration.”

— Lisa Thompson, Exhibit Developer, A Climate of Hope

THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART (MOCA) LOS ANGELES

“The Climate Toolkit has meaningfully expanded MOCA’s sustainability network, connecting us with like-minded institutions working to forward museum sustainability, across the sector and beyond contemporary art. The webinars, online resources, and working groups have enriched our internal sustainability efforts and cultivated a sense of inter-institutional collaboration and community.”

— Kelsey Shell, Environmental & Sustainability Strategist

SCIENCE WORLD

“Science World has greatly benefited from the Climate Toolkit Initiative’s working sessions. Engaging with institutions facing similar challenges has been invaluable, allowing us to share perspectives, collaborate on solutions, and shift the narrative from problem-focused to action-oriented. The cross-pollination of ideas within the Toolkit’s network reinforces the power of collective knowledge and strengthens our commitment to meaningful climate action.”

— Tom Cummins, Director, Exhibits
