Open Science: Climate Change & the Global Commons (Knowledge Equity Network)
Tue March 25, 2025 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm GMT
Join Knowledge Equity Network for an inspiring session on how commons-based approaches to Open Science can catalyse the impact of climate research, challenge misinformation and enable solutions focussed research for a sustainable future.
In this session, we’ll explore how Creative Commons licensing plays a vital role in making climate research freely accessible. By enabling researchers worldwide to access and build on this knowledge, we open the door to innovative solutions. For example, efforts are underway to ensure all research cited in the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Report is openly accessible – providing a powerful tool to challenge misinformation and foster new research into climate change and its mitigations.
We’ll also dive into the significant role of Wikipedia, with its 24 billion monthly page views, as a trusted source of climate-related information. Managed by a collaborative community of editors and contributors, Wikipedia ensures up-to-date research is available to both the public and AI systems that rely on its entries.
In this session, we’ll be joined by guest speakers, Monica Granados (Director of Open Science, Creative Commons) and Tatjana Baleta (Wikimedia Visiting Fellow for Climate, University of Exeter: Global Systems Institute), in conversation with Nick Sheppard (Open Research Advisor, University of Leeds).
