The ICA Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) has opened a global survey exploring the impact of climate change on archives and recordkeeping practices. As climate risks continue to evolve, this initiative provides an opportunity for professionals across regions to contribute their perspectives and inform collective action.
The survey focuses on both gradual and sudden climate impacts on archives, as well as the preparedness measures already in place. Responses will help identify existing resources, reveal gaps in knowledge, and highlight where additional support is needed.
