Free Webinar: Climate Action in Canadian Libraries: From local Practice to National Strategy

  • 1.  Free Webinar: Climate Action in Canadian Libraries: From local Practice to National Strategy

    Posted an hour ago
    Dear All,
    This webinar, hosted by IFLA's Science and Technology Libraries Section, offers a practical look at how libraries are engaging with climate education and action through member-driven networks and national leadership in Canada. All are welcome to join for free.

    Learning Objectives
    By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
    1. Identify two complementary approaches to climate action in libraries – member-driven communities of practice and national coordination – and understand how each supports engagement at different scales.
    2. Apply practical examples and frameworks from Canadian library associations to their own context, regardless of association size, or available resources.
    3. Recognize existing programs, partnerships, and services within their library association that can be strengthened or reframed as part of the climate education and action.
    Takeaways
    • What’s one small step your library or association could take tomorrow?
    • Where are your natural partners – inside or outside your organization – for climate-related work?
    • What are we already doing that could be strengthened, reframed or connected to climate work?
