Museums hold the physical and intellectual resources, abilities, creativity, freedom, and authority to foster the changes the world needs most. The authors offer a mantra for the field's role in creating a world where people and cultures flourish as the environment thrives. The text includes a variety of international calls‐to‐action, and provides example institutional responses. The authors are all members of PIC Green, the American Alliance of Museums’ professional network on environmental sustainability.
