Open for Climate Justice
Open Access Week 2022
Open Access Week 2022 is an opportunity to join together, take action, and raise awareness around how open can be a means for climate justice.
Changing the world is possible.
Openness can create pathways to more equitable knowledge sharing and serve as a means to address the inequities that shape the impacts of climate change and our response to them.
This year’s theme is an invitation to collaborate.
Open Access Week’s focus on Climate Justice seeks to encourage connection and collaboration among the climate movement and the international open community.
Organizing an event?
Participating in Open Access Week can be as simple or involved as you like. It can also be a chance to let your imagination have full rein and come up with something ambitious and engaging.
Our joint call today is principled, lifesaving and urgent. Worldwide people need States, international bodies, science and medical institutions and practitioners to ensure the broadest possible sharing of scientific knowledge, and the broadest possible access to the benefits of scientific knowledge. This is key to any effective public health policy. It is essential to the combat against climate change.
