Synopsis

edit

How well do Wikimedia projects cover topics related to environmental sustainability, now that we have become the hub of all human knowledge? How can we learn from each other and do better? The panellists will use climate change, civil engineering, and butterflies as examples, to discuss the breadth and quality of environmental sustainability content on Wikimedia projects, the best practices they have found, and the initiatives they have started. Then, there will be an open-floor discussion on how we should move forward to bring better knowledge about environmental sustainability to the world. Whether you're an academic scientist, a wildlife watcher, or a Wikimedian with a heart for our planet, this panel session will give you ideas on how to contribute environmental sustainability content to Wikimedia projects effectively.

This panel will combine three submissions. Each of the submission authors will give a lightning talk:
