Open Access Week 2022

[Logo  Description automatically generated with medium confidence]
Invitation

This year's International Open Access Week is focusing on climate change and climate justice. The theme is Open for Climate Justice. The drastic changes in climate across the globe has far-reaching effects that can strike any country, as was seen in April 2022, in KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape, with KwaZulu-Natal having declared a national state of disaster. Such tragedies can lay waste to a community, damaging and destroying critical infrastructures, such as major, transportation, communication, electrical and health systems, making recovery and relief efforts nearly impossible.
