Getting Started with Climate Action Planning in Public Libraries

  • 1.  Getting Started with Climate Action Planning in Public Libraries

    Posted Apr 23, 2025 08:31 AM

    Climate action requires a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions combined with increasing community resilience, all through a lens of climate justice. Join this webinar on April 30th from 1-2pm CDT to 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.

    Learning Outcomes
    At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

    • Explain the difference among the terms climate change mitigation, climate adaptation, and climate justice;
    • Translate current services and programs into a sustainability framework to better brand their library as a climate action leader; and
    • Identify new programs, services, messaging, and potential partnerships to better position their library as a climate action leader.

    Who Should Attend
    This webinar is intended for all public library stakeholders: directors, library workers, and library trustees.
