Edit for Climate Events
Over the course of 2023 a series of Wikipedia “editathons” will be hosted by the GSI, as part of the institute’s partnership with Wikimedia UK to mobilise research onto Wikipedia, filling knowledge gaps and combating climate misinformation in the process.

Previous editathon attendees welcome. For questions and more information about the project, contact Tatjana Baleta att.baleta@exeter.ac.uk
