The Climate and Sustainability Community
The AASLH Climate and Sustainability Community is sponsored by Lyrasis.
The purpose of the Climate and Sustainability Committee is to survey current and needed practice to make recommendations to the AASLH Council on how to support and guide the field as it incorporates environmental sustainability and climate work, internally and externally, to reflect standards of responsible stewardship.
