An international charter for citizen science

The global citizen science movement, coordinated by the Citizen Science Global Partnership, has drafted a charter guiding how citizen science can be incorporated into international environmental agreements.

The charter has sections covering:

• the recognition of citizen science;
• capacity strengthening for citizen science;
• data sharing and integration;
• knowledge generation and collaboration;
• policy and decision making;
• funding and sustainability;
• global collaboration and networking.

The charter calls on Member States of the United Nations Environment Assembly to adopt its provisions to advance progress in this important field of climate action.
