Purpose Libraries are currently undergoing a significant transformation, emerging as dynamic advocates for environmental sustainability, surpassing their conventional roles as mere repositories of knowledge. In today’s world, dominated by the growing climate crisis, these evolving institutions are poised to play a pivotal role in addressing climate change. However, they confront a range of challenges, including the need to establish sustainable operations, provide accessible climate information, engage diverse audiences and uphold ethical standards. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology used for this study involves an extensive review of literature. The authors analyze existing studies concerning green libraries and their role as catalysts for climate change action globally. This analysis draws from a variety of scholarly sources, encompassing articles, books and reports, to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject. Findings The findings indicate that despite the aforementioned challenges, libraries in developed countries worldwide have demonstrated noteworthy success through initiatives such as green building projects, community engagement programs, collaborative partnerships, expansion of digital resources, innovative climate literacy initiatives and a commitment to ethical stewardship. These achievements serve as a source of inspiration, fostering hope and spurring action as libraries empower communities to embrace environmental stewardship. They showcase the potential of libraries as catalysts for positive environmental change. Originality/value The originality and value of this research lie in its insights into the potential of green libraries initiative as a catalyst for climate change action. Ultimately, this study opens the door to untold literary exploration, revolutionizing the art of green library capacity in the ever-evolving technological landscape. To augment their impact, libraries are encouraged to broaden the scope of their climate education initiatives, expand their digital resources, cultivate strategic collaborations, prioritize ethical responsibility and implement thorough evaluation and communication practices.

This study investigates, by means of numerical simulation, the potential enhancement of copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS)-based solar cells through the utilization of various hole transport layers (HTLs), namely, MoO x , CuI, and SnS. Notably, we optimize key cell parameters, such as the CZTS absorber layer thickness, defect density, and acceptor concentration. By integrating these HTLs, we aim to achieve the dual benefits of increased photon energy absorption and reduced recombination rates within the device. Our findings highlight the exceptional performance of MoO x and CuI as HTLs, surpassing SnS by a significant margin. Specifically, MoO x and CuI demonstrate a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 23.73% and an impressive fill factor of 88%. Notably, these results closely approach the theoretical limits proposed by Shockley and Queisser. The proposed strategy, which involves tuning band alignment and optimizing global parameters, holds promise for enhancing the efficiency of CZTS heterojunction-based solar cells, ushering in a more sustainable and efficient era of solar energy conversion.
