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. Join other students and researchers at an editathon to learn how to edit Wikipedia and improve open source climate change knowledge. No Wikipedia experience required! Previous editathon attendees welcome. For questions and more information about the project, contact Tatjana Baleta at t.baleta@exeter.ac.uk

GSI Policy & Engagement Network

Headed by James Dyke, Emily Robinson, and Alex Edwards the Policy Engagement Network aims to provide a space to explore and discuss the processes, opportunities, and challenges academics face in amplifying their research outcomes to a non-academic audience.  Currently, the network runs a monthly roundtable discussion group debating topics of power, politics, and knowledge production through the lens of creating sustainable futures.

Additionally, the group is committed to continuing their ‘In Conversation series’ focused on challenging the dominant narrative of growth through the lens of non-academic engagement. To become part of this network please email – infogsi@exeter.ac.uk

Tipping Elements Discussion Series

This series of online discussions convened by AIMES, Future Earth, Earth Commission and World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. It supports efforts to increase consistency in treatment of tipping elements in the scientific community, develop a research agenda, and design joint experiments and ideas for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip).
