Archives and Climate Change Teach Ins

Information English | Información Español | Informação Português | Informations Françaises

ENGLISH - This September 20th, 2019 archivists around the world alongside young people and adults across the US and world will strike for climate action. Throughout this day archivists will hold Teach Ins focused on various topics of archival practices and the archivist's relationship to climate change.

These Teach Ins will provide insights and serve as a launching point for future actions against climate change. By joining international efforts to raise awareness of climate change, archivists can join the global community to tell leaders across the world that we demand climate action.

Archivists along with others in the library, museum, and information community can join together to contribute to this multigenerational multidisciplinary climate movement. Spend this year’s strike learning about how archives and archivists impact climate change and set the stage for a new era of just and equitable climate action.
