Abstract
Maja outlines the initiatives the British Library is taking to reach Net Zero including infrastructure issues to reduce emissions. Collection initiatives include the UK Web Archive curated Collection on Climate Change, Voices of Science, Contemporary Science Collections Guide on Climate Change and highlighting the use of nineteenth century maps to show changes in land use. Engagement activities such as the Blue Peter Our Planet Now competition, the Natural Word event series and a series of expert events in the run up to COP26 reached broad audiences. Collaboration efforts have been undertaken with National Libraries and the Green Libraries Partnership.
