The theme „Open for climate justice“ aims at drawing our attention to the fact that the climate crisis has far-reaching effects and according to UN, the impacts are “not be[ing] borne equally or fairly, between rich and poor, women and men, and older and younger generations”. These power imbalances also affect communities’ abilities to produce, disseminate, and use knowledge around the climate crisis. Openness can create pathways to more equitable knowledge sharing and serve as a means to address the inequities that shape the impacts of climate change and our response to them.
