It manifests itself, for example, in increasing risk scenarios such as severe weather events, but also in its own ecological footprint, which threatens to undermine its very own mission, the sustainable preservation of cultural heritage.\nIn terms of floor space, cultural heritage facilities are among the largest energy consumers in an urban context. In addition to the gray energy contained in new buildings, a major obstacle on the way to more climate friendliness is excessive air conditioning, which is traditionally based more on technical feasibility than on what is necessary for conservation.\n\nBut caring for the environment is a natural extension of one of the central tasks of cultural heritage institutions, namely to act as trustees and sustainable stewards of their collections for the future. It is therefore high time for museums, archives and libraries to \"look up\" and realign their priorities."},{"acf_fc_layout":"bild_single","bild":5336},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_sans_gross","text":"You can watch the recording of the entire talk here."},{"acf_fc_layout":"misc","contents":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NoBlDgKt0Yg","subline":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_sans_klein","text":"[caption id=\"attachment_3822\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]\"Portrait Prof. Dr. Stefan Simon[\/caption]\n\nDirector of the Rathgen Research Laboratory of the National Museums in Berlin, Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.\n\nStefan Simon has held this position since 2005.
