The international Wikimedia community might be interested in this upcoming event --
CDKN is a collaborator with WMZA (see previous event: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/African_Climate_Change_edit-a-thon ) and the movement that has been growing their outreach to the international climate communication community.
Cheers,

Dear colleagues,
The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) invite you to participate in an online climate change edit-a-thon, Wiki4Climate - A week of editing on climate change topics from 24 November - 1 December 2020.
Wiki4Climate aims to mobilise a community of climate change professionals (researchers, practitioners and communicators), climate and community organisers, and existing Wikipedia editors and volunteers, to edit and update climate change articles on Wikipedia.
The event has four specific goals:
1.
To enhance climate change content on Wikipedia, particularly related to the Global South, 2.
To increase awareness on the value of contributing to the platform, 3.
To enhance the confidence and skills of climate change professionals to edit Wikipedia, and 4.
To build a community of climate change editors, particularly women and editors from the Global South.
For more information about the edit-a-thon and to sign up, visit our Wikipedia project page:

Please share this opportunity with your networks and anyone you know who may be interested in joining.
We hope to see you there!
Emma Baker, on behalf of the Wiki4Climate organising team
