Catherine Stihler, CEO of Creative Commons, will give the Open Access Week keynote address, Social Justice Through Better Sharing. Her talk will cover how the damage to biodiversity caused by climate change compounds social injustice around the world. She will discuss how Creative Commons, SPARC and EIFL have launched a 4-year global Open Climate Campaign to mobilize researchers, national governments, funders and environmental organizations to provide open access to knowledge so better sharing can accelerate progress to solve the climate crisis, preserve global biodiversity and expand social justice.

Open Access Week programming explores the importance of openly sharing knowledge to address the inequities that shape the impacts of climate change and our response to them
