COP28 Takeaways for Cultural Institutions - A conversation with Jennifer Torrance

In the second episode of AMT Lab’s Art + Climate podcast series, the conversation continues with Jennifer Torrance, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens’ Youth Climate Advocacy Committee (YCAC) Coordinator.    In this episode, she talks about her experience attending the recent United Nations Climate Conference, or COP28, with YCAC leader and University of Pittsburgh senior, Anna Bagwell. Though attending a COP conference may be “like trying to drink from a firehose,” Torrance unpacks what a day might look like - from meeting with your observer constituency group and sitting in on negotiations, to networking and other sessions.. She also shares some of her key takeaways for cultural organizations, including joining a network like the Climate Toolkit for Museums, Gardens, and Zoos presented by Phipps.  For more information about Torrance’s work with YCAC and engaging young people in the climate movement, listen to Part One.
