The British Library is hosting a series of webinars focused on libraries and the climate crisis. The aim of the series is to bring together international library leaders to share their different responses to the climate emergency.

This session will explore global examples of how libraries are building their capacity in climate literacy and engagement with a wide range of communities. Providing information is a vital part of libraries’ climate change work – being able to point to the latest science and the most relevant local sources of information. The ways in which libraries do this is varied and often innovative. They include workshops, discussions or practical materials to encourage recycling, reduction of energy consumption or improvements in our natural environment. This also means that librarians need new types of training and resources to help them take up these new activities.
