Wikipedia:Meetup/Wiki Education/Global Approaches to Climate Finance for Wikipedians
Dates: April 22, 2024-May 17, 2024
Attention Caribbean Wikimedians:
Climate finance encompasses investments to address climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The 2015 Paris Agreement led to 196 countries adopting the first-ever global climate change treaty, aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and rising global temperature. In implementation, finance lies at the center of the Paris Agreement, as climate solutions require funding from both the public and private sectors in order to be radical and successful. How have different nations responded to this commitment and approached funding for climate resiliency?
As a part of Wiki Education’s 2024 Climate Finance Initiative, we’re looking to bring together experienced Wikipedia editors from all over the world to document different countries’ current landscapes when it comes to funding and investing in climate mitigation. Currently, Wikipedia lacks “Climate finance in [country]” articles and this seriously limits the ability of interested people to know about a country’s commitments and whether they are on track to keep those commitments. In our virtual course participants will work collaboratively to source this information, and individually to create or translate articles about individual countries.
