Libraries Leading Climate Action: Global Round-Up

Prompt:
Write a warm, engaging round-up article about the “Libraries and positive climate action: inform to transform” event series hosted by the British Library. Paint a vivid picture of how libraries worldwide are becoming catalysts for climate literacy, practical action, and community engagement. Highlight the three core themes: providing reliable climate information and training for librarians, enabling citizen science to expand our collective climate knowledge, and fostering circular economies through library-led initiatives. Feature brief profiles of the speakers (Susanna Eklund, Laragh Quinney, Ania Rok, and chair Maja Maricevic) and weave in examples of the innovative activities libraries are using—workshops, discussions, recycling drives, and energy-reduction efforts. Conclude with practical takeaways for library professionals and a call to action for readers to explore local library-led climate initiatives and share their own success stories.
