Join this session to hear from organizations who are collaborating on projects and initiatives to profile the role of open in addressing the climate crisis. We will profile successes to date, highlight upcoming projects, and invite participation in our community-driven Open Goes COP movement. We believe that open access to climate change research will enable faster and more equitable solutions to the most pressing issues of our time: climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Our panel will provide a case study of enabling global open access policies and highlight our experimentations in making seminal climate research open access.

#BetterTogetherThanAlone
OPEN GOES COP is a coalition of organisations and individuals aiming to advocate for openness in the context of the UN Climate Change Conferences (COP). We aim to overcome the lack of discussion on the role of βopennessβ as a necessary condition for addressing the climate crisis and to build the capacity of open movement activists and stakeholders from civil society and academia to influence high-level decisions on related issues. In this Inaugural Webinar, we call on all those interested in joining the coalition to develop common strategies and work together to make information and materials freely available. There will be an introduction to the COP processes followed by a brief introduction to the aims of the coalition and a short statement from each participating organisation. The meeting will then be open and conversational to decide together on the next steps. Speakers: β’ Adam Yakubu - Institute for Energy Security (IES) β’ Sara Petti, Maxwell Beganim and Julieta Milan - Open Knowledge Network β’ Monica Granados - Open Climate Campaign β’ Otuo-Akyampong Boakye - Wiki Green Initiatives The Open Goes COP Inaugural Webinar will be held in English. Future meetings in other languages are in the planning stage. If you're working at the intersection of openness and climate change, please come! It will only work if more people and organisations get involved. At this early stage, the coalition is convened by Wiki Green Initiatives, the Open Knowledge Network, and the Open Climate Campaign.
