New study: "We conducted a…survey across 125 countries, interviewing nearly 130,000 individuals [& found] widespread support for #climate action. Notably…86% endorse pro-climate social norms and 89% demand intensified political action…Despite these encouraging statistics, we document that the world is in a state of pluralistic ignorance, wherein individuals around the globe systematically underestimate the willingness of their fellow citizens to act."

Also see Damian Carrington's summary: "People across the world are united in wanting action to fight the #climate crisis but remain a silent majority, because they wrongly think only a minority share their views."

The empirical support for this result is very welcome. But #AJMuste reached much the same conclusion (about issues other than climate) in 1952. I cited it in one of the early issues of my newsletter on #OpenAccess (Dec 2001), as one reason why I launched the newsletter. "Muste argued that civil disobedience was useful in part because it made actual dissidents known to potential dissidents. It broke the appearance of unanimity that, by itself, discouraged many people from voicing their opposition or even thinking clearly and courageously about opposition."

We owe it to ourselves to make the climate majority more vocal and visible. Same for the #democracy majority.

NatureGlobally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate ChangeGlobal support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate action, while a perception gap exists regarding other citizens’ intention to act.

Update. "The federal Department of Education [#ED] maintains an open access database of more than 2 million documents [Education Resources Information Center, #ERIC] dating back to the 1960s. It will cease operating Wednesday due to #DOGE cuts."

PS: I use many sources in my attempt to stay on top of what's happening with #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenEducation, and so on. ERIC has been one of the stalwarts.

Repositorien sind ein entscheidendes Werkzeug für die Open-Science-Transformation. Die Entwicklungen rund um KI verstärken die Relevanz von Repositorien als kuratierte Sammlungen von wissensch. Inhalten. Sie ermöglichen mehr Impact, Inklusivität, Vertrauen und Innovation.

Um Repositorien entsprechend zukunftssicher zu machen, wurden 7 Säulen formuliert.
