Open climate science is brave climate science

Abstract

The pivotal role of climate science in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals underscores the urgent need for ample and open climate data sharing. While numerous large-scale endeavours highlight the efficacy of open climate data, we often encounter personal reservations in our scientific community. Here we argue that beyond infrastructure and service availability, a framework of acceptance and courage is needed in progressing data visibility.
