Promoting Climate Change Literacy through the repackaging of Scholarly Information Resources to suit the varying Literacy Levels in Africa/The Open Climate Campaign: Ambitions and Approaches

Promoting Climate Change Literacy in Africa: Repackaging Scholarly Information for varying Literacy Levels - Mac-Anthony Cobblah, University of Cape Coast The emergence of climate change pose one of the most critical global challenges of our time with far-reaching implications for all humans. In Africa, a continent particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, knowledge and education plays pivotal roles in building resilience and fostering sustainable practices. This paper presents comprehensive strategies and techniques essential to repackage scholarly information resources to create awareness and promote understanding of climate change issues specifically tailored to suit the varying literacy levels in Africa. The Open Climate Campaign: Ambitions and Approaches - Frances Pinter, Central European University Press The goal of the Open Climate Campaign (OCC) is to promote open access to accelerate progress towards solving the climate crisis and preserving global biodiversity. This four-year, $4.5 million project is funded by the Arcadia Fund and Open Society Foundations and managed by Creative Commons, EIFL and SPARC. It promotes internationally the adoption and implementation of strong OA policies, overcoming legal barriers and help funders and environmental organisations make better use of OA. We look at how an issue-based OA campaign such as OCC can fit within the broader scientific and scholarly communications issues including the role of libraries.
