Scaling Climate Goals

On April 22, 2022 the T7 Task Force Climate and Environment advocated for a “Digital Technical Knowledge Commons” ‘housing all things technical’ and data, especially:

1. monitoring data;

2. contextualized technology-based solutions, and;

3. best practices, relevant to climate change-related goals and sharing this accessible technical knowledge, information and expertise with decision-makers and stakeholders locally, regionally, and globally.[1]

While this report showed a recognition of the need for a climate knowledge commons by an official international task-force with considerable influence, it addressed neither social factors nor the importance of centering climate justice, a major difference from the emphasis and design of Climate Wiki.
