In its comprehensive exhibition, Climate Change: The Threat to Life and A New Energy Future, the American Museum of Natural History addresses one of the most complex and urgent scientific and social issues of the 21st century: global climate change. The exhibition explains the science of climate change to visitors of all ages and explores the implications of unchecked climate change for future generations. While Climate Change makes clear that there is no single solution, it allows visitors to see how individual, collective, communal, and governmental actions in using energy more efficiently, in combination with pursuing promising new energy alternatives, can make a meaningful impact in reducing global warming.

Climate Change: The Threat to Life and A New Energy Future is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage; The Cleveland Museum of Natural History; The Field Museum, Chicago; the Instituto Sangari, São Paulo, Brazil; Junta de Castilla y León, Spain; Korea Green Foundation, Seoul; the Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen; Papalote Museum del Niño, Mexico City, Mexico; and Saint Louis Science Center.
