Abstract

In this presentation, Johanna Garnett explains why libraries are so resilient in the global climate change era. The presentation was part of a webinar organized by the IFLA Preservation and Conservation Section (PRESCONS), that explores how libraries around the world can strengthen resilience and preparedness in the face of global climate change and natural disasters. Experts and members of PRESCONS share strategies, case studies, and reflections on collaboration, risk reduction, and sustainable practices for protecting documentary heritage.
