We are very pleased to release the update of the Second European Report on Sustainable Development Goals and Libraries, published by the EBLIDA ELSIA (European Libraries and Sustainable development Implementation and Assessment) Group of Experts.
There are only a few changes in the institutional setting of library SDG-oriented policies. Nevertheless, the number of projects has increased with constant reference to EU-funded programmes

"The Agenda 2030 on sustainable development is the main strand of the EBLIDA 2022-2025 Strategic Plan and our commitment towards SDGs remains unabated", says Ton van Vlimmeren, President EBLIDA. A few years ago, EBLIDA created the EBLIDA Matrix including both SDG-oriented EU programmes and library projects on a European scale. "We are now funding new ways to create awareness about SDGs and stimulate SDG-oriented library projects", Giuseppe Vitiello, Director EBLIDA, adds, "The successor of the EBLIDA Matrix is underway". |
