The UN’s Decade of Action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030

“I call on the community of information specialists, researchers and educators to join in the global effort to overcome poverty and inequality, tackle the climate crisis, empower women and girls, and build peaceful, just and inclusive societies, free of discrimination and hate, in harmony with nature. To create a better future for all, we need information to bring awareness to the issues, knowledge to design solutions and data to monitor accountability. United in information, let’s act together to meet the Goals.” – Clara M. Chu, Director, Mortenson Center for International Library Programs
