Open Science is essential for addressing the exponential growth of research data, answering calls for reproducibility, and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. Guided by the FAIR and CARE data principles, Open Science approaches enhance research transparency and contribute to solving the global environmental and social challenges outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Scientific unions such as EGU, AGU, and JpGU play a crucial role in incentivizing the required cultural change in scientific practice. Technical challenges, such as data volumes, metadata harmonization, and interoperable infrastructures, as well as human challenges, including cultural differences, incentives, and capacity building, have to be addressed.
We invite submissions that showcase innovative platforms, interoperable infrastructures, successful stakeholder engagement activities, and collaborative networks that enable the implementation of local solutions that contribute to overcoming global challenges such as climate change, natural disasters, and biodiversity loss.
