Libraries and other educational and cultural organizations can use Climate Action Week to coordinate action on the climate change related challenges and emergencies facing our communities. CAW encourages libraries to host climate programs, displays, and other initiatives as people all around the world prepare for the annual United Nations Climate Change COP.
