** Hello John!
------------------------------------------------------------

👂 Have you heard about our NEW Open Climate Campaign?

Creative Commons, SPARC and EIFL launched the Open Climate Campaign ([link removed]) , funded by a new 4-year, $4-million (USD) grant from the Arcadia Fund. So what's it all about? 👀

Climate change is one of the world's most pressing challenges, but the knowledge and data about possible solutions, mitigations and actions to tackle it are often not publicly accessible. We’re on a mission to change that.

Over the next 4 years, the Open Climate Campaign will be working hard to make open sharing research outputs the norm in climate science. To do this we will:

📢 Promote awareness among researchers about barriers to accessing climate change knowledge and the tools available to open up research outputs.

⚖️ Work with governments, funders and environmental organizations to create, adopt and implement equitable open access policies.

✍️ Identify, engage and contribute to draft international climate & biodiversity frameworks to include funder open access policy recommendations, and public benefits of open knowledge.

🔍 Seek out important existing climate & biodiversity research publications not already open access, and unbind those key publications to open more research.

🗣 Engage researchers, universities and policymakers from traditionally excluded groups and geographical regions to ensure inclusive outcomes throughout.

🙏 Our campaign will be most grateful if you can help us spread the word of this new initiative with your networks. Here are some things you can do to help:
* Share the campaign website ([link removed])
* Amplify or post about the campaign on social media: sample posts: 1 ([link removed]) / 2 ([link removed]) / 3 ([link removed]) / 4 ([link removed]) / 5 ([link removed]) / 6 ([link removed])
* Share a blog post about the campaign (Creative Commons ([link removed]) , EIFL ([link removed]) , SPARC ([link removed]) )
* Add a few paragraphs about and a link to the campaign in a newsletter
* Get involved ([link removed]) in the campaign

Sincerely,

The CC Team love_cc

** CC still opposes mandatory filtering and so should you ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
As part of our key strategic goal of Better Sharing, we've taken a firm stance against mandatory content filtering on the internet, as the effects would be devastating to free speech, as well as the sharing of culture and knowledge.
