Let's build together a world where all knowledge is
accessible to everyone

accessible to everyone
Open Knowledge, Climate Academy, and Semantic Climate are collaborating on an open learning initiative to answer that one specific, challenging question about AI.
The problem
Distortion and misrepresentation about climate change are prolific in the media and in mainstream AI chatbots. People use AI all the time, but don’t necessarily know how to question what they are told. How can climate educators leverage AI?
The opportunity
Climate Academy wishes to disseminate knowledge with a responsible and climate-friendly AI chatbot that can answer questions about climate change using pre-approved literature, datasets and conversational guardrails.

Introducing OKFN's AI Learning Labs
Announcement of Strategic Funding to Enhance Multilingual, Sector-specific AI Literacy and Develop Trustworthy AI for Open Data
This is a collaborative initiative grounded in real-world challenges, taking place in 2026 in partnership with:
Semantic Climate focuses on semantifying climate data and resources to make climate knowledge open, machine-readable, and actionable. Our Idea is to help scientists, policymakers, and communities respond more effectively to climate change, but more importantly, our aim is to create Youth Knowledge Champions, so that together, we can take Climate Action to each and every citizen in the world.
Climate Academy is a small but mighty organisation that educates young people and media on how to understand climate justice and planetary boundaries.

Open Knowledge’s AI Learning Labs is an initiative that aims to experiment with AI, translate knowledge from social sector organisations around the world, and produce public, multilingual AI-literacy resources tailored for organisations addressing similar issues elsewhere.
Together, we will catalyse learning and develop replicable methods to help organisations build AI skills, use AI responsibly, and develop their own AI projects. All resources will be openly available at School of Data.
