An initiative within S&S to bring more climate communications to Wikipedia via experts.

Climate solutions are proven, powerful, and effective, but they aren’t happening at the scale necessary to curb climate change quickly. Why? We need a mindset shift on a collective level in order to cut emissions across all sectors. We also need to communicate to the public and policymakers that we have everything we need to create an equitable and just future.

Wikipedia has a proven track record for affecting collective behavior across a wide range of sectors. Averaging 18 billion page views per month, it is the 5th most visited website in the world. And Wikipedia readers are not just students doing homework or friends settling an argument. Research shows Wikipedia content influences tourism, scientists, and even judges’ legal rulings. That’s why it’s vital that we take part in updating and correcting Wikipedia’s content. Let’s leverage that power for the climate.

Wiki Education invites subject-matter experts to participate in hands-on workshops and virtual courses as they learn how to edit Wikipedia. We take a deep dive into Wikipedia’s coverage of climate solutions and add high-quality information to Wikipedia to inform the public with potentially life-changing knowledge.
