A sustainable development goal for culture: an introduction to the Culture 2030 Goal campaign

IFLA is a founding member of the Culture2030Goal campaign, which brings together global cultural networks in order to make the case for a prominent, central role of culture in global development frameworks. It believes that, by placing culture on the same level as other policy areas, it will be far easier to ensure that cultural factors and actors – such as libraries – are engaged in development policy, from planning to implementation.

IFLA ENSULIB Webinar Series: Sustainability in Libraries

Can libraries afford to wait for others to fix the world while toxic waste, climate change and pollution harm our environment? How much of a difference can we make anyway? This webinar will aim to raise ambitions for greener library buildings, provide examples of how library services can lead by example as sustainably managed organisations and highlight the opportunities to work in partnership with users to work together and move towards a smarter, sustainable world. The presentation will draw on examples from Europe and Hong Kong to illustrate good practice in academic libraries, covering library building design, communication with users and applications of management information to improve sustainability.  Spoiler alert – whilst this webinar may not have all the answers to the questions above, the conclusions will suggest there is hope.
