Climate Future

In 2019, the District of West Vancouver declared a state of climate emergency. The Library’s response is Climate Future—an initiative that invites the community to come together to deepen knowledge and take action around the climate crisis.

Climate Action Toolkit

Our Climate Action Toolkit is filled with actions you can take to reduce your carbon footprint in five categories: food, stuff, transportation, buildings, and nature. We’ve also included a section called Acting Together with tips on how to work with your community and government to advocate for bigger changes. At the end of the toolkit and linked below, you’ll find a reading challenge with curated fiction and non-fiction titles, including films, and a place to make your personal climate commitments.
