This workshop will generate ideas and questions about the underlying implications of open culture and copyright in a warming world. Open Access in science is key to the bodies of knowledge that identify the problems and solutions for climate change. But there are likely other ways in which the open movement could advance “everyday” solutions to climate change, from unlocking easy and digestible climate information, to documenting the consequences of climate change. This workshop will generate ideas about potential approaches to activate open communities in addressing the climate crisis.
