Hosted by: WebJunction and Sustainable Libraries Initiative
Length: 1 hour 30 minutes
Climate justice recognizes the disproportional impacts of climate change
on the people and places least responsible for the problem:
systematically oppressed communities and communities of color. Libraries
that approach climate action through the lens of climate justice can
accelerate necessary work in communities to ensure all are heard in
disaster preparedness and emergency management work. Learn how to think
like a 21st century economist and how libraries can help lead the way to
a just transition of our communities to strengthen community resilience
and livability not just in the aftermath of climate change-driven
disasters, but well before they ever happen.
