Getting Started with Climate Action Planning in Public Libraries

On-Demand

Webinar

Learn how to implement a climate action plan at your library that will have the biggest impact locally and globally.

Climate action requires a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions combined with increasing community resilience, all through a lens of climate justice. In this on-demand webinar, find out where your time and energy can be best spent in the face of the overwhelming nature of climate action. Learn from library practitioners who have been early adopters of climate action through the award-winning Sustainable Library Certification Program to help organize your own thinking on how to implement a climate action plan at your library that will have the biggest impact locally and globally.
