Abstract

Global climate change has been a global concern all over the world in view of its threat to human existence, and literature opines that carbon dioxide could rise from about 1.4 to 5.8 °C above the 1990 average by the year 2100. In view of this alarming statistical realities and projections, this paper evaluates the roles of digital libraries as regards the impact of knowledge management on climate change. Also, rapid development in information and communication technologies within the last two decades has empowered libraries in the provision of digital library services in the creation, development and provision of innovative information resources and services, hence the importance of epitomizing the roles of digital libraries in the management and applicability of knowledge on the world’s changing climate cannot be over-emphasized. The study also epitomizes the contributions of selected West African institutions in ameliorating the effects of climate change.
