Librarians’ Attitudes Toward Providing Environmental Education Services in Georgia

Environmental issues and problems have posed severe threats to the healthy existence of human beings and other species on this planet. It is one of the three dimensions of sustainable development, along with the social and economic dimensions embraced by the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015. At the heart of the UN 2030 Agenda are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets that balance the three dimensions of sustainable development. The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) has been actively involved in the development of the UN 2030 Agenda by advocating for the inclusion of access to information, the safeguarding of cultural heritage, universal literacy, and access to information and communication technologies (ICT) in the SDGs as targets. In 2016, IFLA published a booklet to demonstrate the contributions of libraries to the SDGs.
