On Friday, September 13, 2024, Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, announced that the Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA) was one of eight organizations to receive funding for projects dedicated to environmental education and climate literacy.

The CFLA, through its Climate Action Committee, will receive $23,000

To support the launch of the Canadian Federation of Library Associations’ Climate Action Committee’s national climate education campaign for public, academic, and school libraries across the country—which includes a combined reach of 7,500 library sector workers and over 2,500 public libraries—the recipient will create a Climate Action in Libraries primer and programming toolkit for library leaders, delivering public-facing services with strategies for advocacy in their stakeholder and community engagement work, as well as hosting training and awareness sessions in both official languages.
