Learn about areas such as extreme weather, food security, cost of living, and how we can make a difference.This event is part of Green Libraries Week, the national, annual celebration of libraries, across all sectors – from public libraries on the high street to national, health and academic libraries – where we focus on libraries leading climate and sustainability initiatives for their users and communities. The theme this year is Climate Facts for a greener future: Navigating mis – and disinformation in libraries.The screening will be followed by a short Q&amp;A session – speakers to be confirmed soon.
