 Creative Commons, SPARC and EIFL have announced a new 4-year, US$4-million grant from Arcadia Fund, to fund the Open Climate Campaign. The grant will fund a four-year campaign in a bid to solve the climate crisis and preserve global biodiversity by promoting open access to research. “While the reality of climate change and the resulting loss of biodiversity is certain, the research about these global challenges and the possible actions to tackle them are too often not publicly accessible. In order to solve these pressing problems, the knowledge about them must be made immediately and freely open to all,” said Heather Joseph, Executive Director at SPARC.
