Abstract

A survey was conducted among the public and school libraries in Scotland to gather data on the different kinds of activities being undertaken for achieving and promoting sustainability, and especially SDG13 (Climate Change). These activities were mapped onto the targets and indicators of SDG13 and some targets and indicators of other SDGs that contribute to SDG13. Based on this, two simple templates have been proposed for recording and reporting the activities of the LIS sector towards SDG13. Some simple measures for recording the outcomes and impact of some such activities are also proposed.
