How can we better work with environmental organisations?
Wikimania 2019

The SDGs and the Paris agreement outline we must make significant structural changes to our way of life by 2030 to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. This work will include a large amount of education. Wikipedia is one of the largest and most popular environmental education tools (including with policymakers, etc who can make the structural changes we need). How should we work with the organisations holding the knowledge around climate change, biodiversity loss and other environmental issues? Most organisations working on climate and biodiversity have opinions and take action and could be considered to have a bias or conflict of interest. How can we work with these organisations to provide a full picture of these issues whilst maintaining our values? I would like to run this session as part of my work on the Strategy process working group for partnerships.
