Panel Discussion: Open for Climate Justice

by DENISE WOLFE

“Open for Climate Justice” is the theme for this year’s Open Access Week (October 24-30). This annual event promotes opportunities for open sharing of knowledge with the advancement of policy changes and the importance of social issues affecting people around the world.

Sharing knowledge is a human right, and tackling the climate crisis requires the rapid exchange of knowledge across geographic, economic, and disciplinary boundaries. This year’s theme encourages connection and collaboration among the climate movement and the international open community.
