Dear CC Global Network,
In August, 2022 Creative Commons — in collaboration with SPARC and EIFL — launched the Open Climate Campaign. We seek to create a truly global campaign to promote open access to science, data and educational resources as effective enabling strategies to accelerate progress towards solving the climate crisis and preserving global biodiversity. The campaign’s core goal is to make open sharing of research outputs the norm in climate science.
One of the major goals of the campaign is to help national governments create, adopt and implement strong open access policies. We will help governments to require publicly funded climate and biodiversity research be open by default (e.g., CC BY on research articles, CC0 on research data, zero embargo period).
The campaign is starting to discuss which national governments we should work with; we will be reaching out to governments in early to mid 2023.
(1) We’d like to seek your expertise regarding which national governments you think the campaign should contact.
(2) We are also interested to learn if you and/or your CC Country Chapter might be interested in working with us as we build conversations and relationships with your national government in order to create strong open access policies.
If you are interested in participating or have any questions please reach out to Monica Granados (mon...@creativecommons.org) at the Open Climate Campaign. We are going to start making decisions re: a list of national governments in mid-February.
Thank you for our consideration and we look forward to working with you.
Our sincere thanks,
Monica Granados and Cable Green
