2022-3-1 Webinar: "Libraries and UN SDGs: IFLA supporting the libraries to achieve the SDGs" will be held on March 24
In recent years, achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) have become one of the most important global issues. The National Diet Library will host a web lecture about libraries and the UN SDGs featuring Ms. Barbara Lison, president of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), an international body that represents the interests of libraries, information services, and their users. Ms. Lison has designated "libraries building a sustainable future" as a major policy for her tenure and is actively promoting the SDGs for libraries and information services. In this lecture, she will talk about the IFLA's strategy, examples of initiatives taken by libraries in some countries, and international cooperation from the perspective of achieving the SDGs. We hope that her presentation will provide an opportunity to deepen understanding of libraries, their circumstances, and future library activities. We look forward to your participation.
