     Call for Proposals


   *Libraries as Actors of Climate Empowerment*

_IFLA WLIC Satellite Meeting

Bibliotheek LocHal <https://www.bibliotheekmb.nl/vest/lochal.html>_,

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The IFLA Environment, Sustainability and Libraries Section together with 
the Public Libraries Section in collaboration with De Bibliotheek LocHal 
are excited to host a satellite conference prior to the IFLA World 
Library and Information Congress 2023 in Rotterdam. The theme will be 
“Libraries as Actors of Climate Empowerment”. Libraries can empower all 
members of society to engage in climate action. They are deeply 
connected to their communities and can reach people of all demographics. 
As such, they are in a unique position to provide public awareness and 
to create platforms for engagement in climate action to all members of 
society.

At our conference we plan to emphasise exchange and interaction between 
the participants. Attendees will play an active role, shaping the 
outcome of the day by coming together, sharing ideas, and developing 
plans. We are looking for inspiring speakers and lively workshop 
leaders, who want to share their visions and best practice examples from 
their libraries to guide librarians to get engaged on sustainability and 
climate empowerment.


       *Themes we want to focus on:
       *“Action for Climate Empowerment” looks at the social aspect of
       climate action, strengthening the ability of all members of
       society to engage in climate action through six elements:
