"Climate-smart work in the country's 35,000 museums, and cultural heritage centers and landscapes means jobs and community resilience while cutting carbon. Leaders at the Abbe Museum (ME), Puerto Rico Traditional Trades Apprenticeship Program - Institute of Puerto Rican Culture, and the Science Museum of Minnesota showcase the climate jobs future through traditional ecological knowledge-sharing for natural resource protection and management; traditional building-skills apprenticeships critical for low-emissions building and rebuilding for resilience; and clean energy and efficiency critical to reducing the sector's building use footprint.

Invited guest speaker: The Honorable Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Department of the Interior."
