This year's International Open Access Week
is focusing on climate change and climate justice. The drastic changes
in climate across the globe has far-reaching effects. These effects can
strike any country as was seen in April 2022, in KwaZulu-Natal and
Eastern Cape, with KwaZulu-Natal being declared a national state of
disaster.
Such tragedies can lay waste to a community, damaging
and destroying critical infrastructures, such as major highways,
transportation, communication, electrical systems, health systems etc.,
making recovery and relief efforts all most impossible.
The theme for this year, therefore, is Open for Climate Justice.
This
year's theme is about coordinating across communities and a chance to
join together, to take action, and to raise awareness around how
openness as default, can be an enabler of climate justice.
