Hi Wikimedians,
As we approach Earth Day (April 22) next week, I wanted to remind you
about how you can contribute to the #WikiForHumanRights Campaign.
Each year we partner with the UN Human Rights and UN Environmental
program, to focus on the key issues related to the human impacts of the
global environmental crises.
Join our launch webinar!
On 18 April at 15:00 UTC, we invite you to join the launch of this
year’s #WikiForHumanRights campaign, with a special focus on the Pollution
crisis. Register here on Zoom

This panel explores how improved public knowledge, through platforms like
Wikimedia projects, can help both global and local communities better

environment in efforts to prevent, minimize and remedy pollution. Join

Convention on Mercury <https://mercuryconvention.org/en>), Jo Banner

rights and the environment.
