Abstract
A key result of the United Nations' anniversary celebrations in 2020 was a declaration by Member States, setting out commitments for the future. Based on this, over the past year, the UN has worked with its members and other stakeholders to develop a set of proposed actions. These are set out in ‘Our Common Agenda’, presented by the UN Secretary General last September, and officially welcomed by Member States in a Resolution in November.
What does Our Common Agenda mean for the library field? How does it relate to existing areas of focus such as the SDGs, and where might the actions it includes provide an opportunity to demonstrate the value of libraries’ work? This briefing sets out some answers.
