Climate Watch Working Group
In 2023, NDSA Leadership supported the launch of a Climate Watch working group to focus on issues surrounding climate change. The Climate Watch Working Group will scan and report on the most recent literature, news, and reports related to climate change and its impact on digital preservation. Annotated bibliographies are produced quarterly and published on Substack
Group Objectives
- Produce regular annotated bibliographies on recent literature, news, and reports related to climate change and its impact on digital preservation
- Create and add to an ongoing list of potential risks climate change poses to digital preservation work
- Create and add to lists of core climate change information resources to get a solid grounding in the issue, help with future projections, and lobby for preservation resources
The Climate Watch Working Group will meet once a month with regular assignments between meetings. The expected time commitment is approximately 30 minutes to one hour a week in addition to the bimonthly meeting time.
