In this Pre-Conference, we'll explore how the Wikimedia communities from the Global South are building trustworthy information online on climate change from local and regional perspectives, and how some of those strategies could serve a larger ecosystem of stakeholders. The goal is to share best practices among Wikimedia communities, including how to identify knowledge gaps on content that could potentially be exploited for disinformation, and create plans for cross-regional initiatives that help address them in global languages, with partners such as UN agencies like UNEP and FAO.

This Pre-Conference (side event) is being put forward by the Working Group on Climate Justice and Wikimedia Projects, in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation and UNEP regional office in LATAM and Nairobi headquarters. This Pre-Conference has the following goals:

• Promote awareness on how the Wikimedia communities are a fundamental part of promoting and protecting information integrity on climate change in the digital ecosystem.
• Explore how Wikimedia communities strategies, methodologies and tools, help in identifying knowledge gaps and help improve coverage of underserved topics on climate change.
• Create collaborative and cross-regional initiatives, alongside with global partners such as UN agencies, to help bridge information gaps in languages other than English, such as the Wiki for Human Rights Campaign, among others that could be explored or imagined.
• Foster South-South collaboration among Wikimedia communities focused on climate change as a topic of impact.

In order to accomplish these goals, the Pre-Conference will be focused on facilitating conversations.

By the end of the Pre-Conference, we expect participants will be able to better understand the importance of information integrity on climate change, connect it with other areas of their interest, and build bridges between strategic stakeholders and the Wikimedia movement. By learning the expectations and needs of multilateral organizations on information integrity for climate change, we will be able to be better allies in identifying knowledge gaps and devising and developing initiatives that serve those expectations and needs.

The event is a private meeting. Those who will be participating have been invited in advance.

Time	Theme
9:00- 12:15	The agenda will be divided into several moments. Celebration & offering. What has been the impact of the campaign on your community? What do you want to bring today as a gift for the community? Celebration: exchanging around food, around drinks Information integrity framework. Why is it relevant to frame Wikimedia projects in the context of “information integrity”? What experiences can we share on building community with this thematic focus? What are the expected outcomes for this part? 15 mins to give a space for the framework. Are we all on the same page on what it means? Link between the value of Wikimedia projects and information integrity principles Obstacle tree: “We live in a polluted information ecosystem that prevents progress on important policies for climate change & environmental issues”. Roots & branches   Imagining our collective future. This space will be used to foster South-South collaboration among Wikimedia communities and other allies focused on climate change as a topic of impact. We will work on a vision for 2028. We will offer a broad statement of the future we want. People will be offered paper scraps among other stationery materials, and will have to build a magazine imagining it’s 2028 and the things that led us to that future. The statement will be: “It’s 2028. Open knowledge communities and platforms, including Wikimedia, are recognized as a great source of information for climate change, from policy makers to frontline communities. Our model is considered an antidote against disinformation.”
12.15-13:00	Lunch & walk to UNEP HQ
13:00-16:00	Multistakeholder dialogue at UNEP HQ. Round table discussion (20-25 participants): Short presentation by UNEP on this topic. What are the main challenges to protecting and promoting Climate Change and environmental information integrity? Presenting results from our closed session. What role do Wikimedia projects and the open knowledge movement play in the climate change information ecosystem? Presentations by African organizers highlighting their work Why is it important to work together? Exploring opportunities for collaboration between UNEP and other stakeholders present at the event, including CAAD, Greenpeace Africa, Code for Africa, and others. What are the challenges in working with these big UN partners? (some have been successful, some others haven’t been) What other smaller partner organizations have done very successfully? Lesser branded organizations, it helped them to do the work?
