Climate change knowledge empowers informed decisions at a time of great urgency. Read 22 billion times a month, Wikipedia is an effective platform to mobilise information, research and expert knowledge searchable and accessible, and to combat misinformation.
Wikipedia is one of the biggest sources of information on climate change in the world, and relies on volunteer editors to fill knowledge gaps and update climate articles.
Learn how to edit Wikipedia at this event and improve open source climate change knowledge! This is a great opportunity to delve into a climate change topic, work on a literature review, practice writing for public audiences, and network with others in the climate space, while making a positive impact. No prior knowledge required.
