‘Trendswatch | Localism’

Shop display promoting local produce and the distance it travels

In our article ‘Trendswatch | Localism’ Colin Mulberg explains how a local focus helps museums react to the climate crisis.

Colin looks at the role localism can play - buying from local producers, businesses, makers and charities reduces delivery distances and transport emissions, while supporting sustainable development and helping local areas to thrive.

He examines the four stages of local procurement and draws on examples from the Cartoon Museum, London reducing their energy footprint and the Rural Life Living Museum, Surrey partnering with the local community through sustainable working with local businesses.
