I’m glad to share that I have completed the International Network of Universities Global Citizenship and Sustainable Futures; Learning for Change program. Through this program I learnt about topics related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, gaining insights into global inequalities and different cultural perspectives. I also took elective modules: Climate Change and Global Inequalities, Borders, modern slavery and human mobility, Gender inequalities and violence against women. These modules have developed my knowledge further and they have given me an understanding about social and environmental justice. Image description in alt text #INU #GlobalCitizenship #UNSDGs

Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor.studio: In 2024, my journey from Wikipedia fellow to PhD researcher revealed something powerful: when we make knowledge accessible, we amplify our impact on climate action and gender equality. Starting my PhD in Climate Change and Sustainable Development at University of Ghana marked a new chapter, but it built on years of work making climate knowledge accessible through Wikimedia projects. The convergence taught me that sustainable change needs both rigorous research and inclusive knowledge sharing. Key moments that shaped this understanding: • Leading WikiForHumanRights campaign as Anglophone Africa Regional Coordinator • Co-founding Africa Wiki Women to promote gender equality in open knowledge • Facilitating climate knowledge workshops across Ghana • Speaking at UN-Habitat on gender-based violence in low-income communities • Expanding Kiwix4Schools to bring offline educational resources to more African schools Three posts that captured our collective impact: "Starting my PhD journey in Climate Change" - How WikiForHumanRights opened my eyes to climate issues and inspired academic pursuit "Years back when I joined the Wikimedia Foundation as a fellow, I had little knowledge of climate change. But that opportunity changed everything." https://lnkd.in/eUqfBVE7 "Research Connect Workshop Insights" - Making research accessible through storytelling and collaboration "The workshop reinforced the importance of co-creation, innovative communication, and inclusivity in making research accessible and impactful." https://lnkd.in/eAveg57d "Climate Finance Week" - Advocating for equitable climate solutions "Africa has the potential to lead a 100% renewable energy transition by 2030, but this requires significant investment in sustainable solutions." Looking ahead: My research will explore climate resilience through a gender lens while continuing to bridge academic knowledge and community action. Because when we make knowledge accessible, we empower communities to create sustainable change. To Dr. Yaw Agyeman Boafo and Alex Stinson - your mentorship showed me how research and open knowledge can transform lives. To every woman working to make climate knowledge more accessible - your work matters more than you know. #ClimateAction #GenderEquality #WikiForHumanRights #KnowledgeEquity #SustainableDevelopment

The 2024 Global Education Meeting (GEM), organized by UNESCO and the government of Brazil, took place on 31 October and 1 November 2024, in Fortaleza, Brazil. It provided a platform for dialogue and sharing of experiences, innovations and lessons learnt. The meeting concluded with the adoption of the Fortaleza Declaration, emphasizing the role of education as a driver for a fair and sustainable future and serving as a powerful appeal for multilateral, cross-sectoral, and multisector stakeholder collaboration. It also made a call to enhance education funding, indicating that “increased education funding is not only a moral imperative but also an economic necessity for advancing all SDGs.” The Fortaleza Declaration, endorsed by Ministers of #Education, highlights the importance of #EducationforSustainableDevelopment (#ESD), and the need to focus on system capacity development and continuous professional development of teachers and policy makers... and called for integrating climate education into school curricula, promoting peace education, and advancing gender equality through and in education. It also stressed the importance to pursue a holistic and lifelong approach to education, with a focus on system strengthening and transformation, to accelerate actions towards #SDG4. One of the key documents to inform the meeting was The 2024/5 Global Education Monitoring Report on Leadership and Education, providing the latest analysis on progress towards SDG 4, it provides insights and policy recommendations on the role of leadership in #LeadingSDG4 Click here to access the Declaration: https://lnkd.in/ecMagkhv

Dutch research university see gender parity in top leadership. But that is not the case in professorships. International inclusion, diversity and engagement also needs considerable focus. Yet, Dutch politics and policies have made that harder. #leadership #university #genderparity #diversity #international #policies #politcs

Dr Ellen Johannesen, who recently completed her PhD at World Maritime University (WMU), joined the research vessel Oceanograf cruise for a period of one week to further her gender equality at sea research and provided a presentation during the visit entitled “BaltArctic Cruise - Investigation of the gendered experiences of individuals working and living at sea”. While on the R/V Oceanograf, Dr Johannesen, an alumna of Sea Women Expeditions' 2022 leadership program and ocean research and winter snorkel expedition to Arctic Norway, carried out an ethnographic study focused on understanding the culture and practice of the researchers on ship. “We can’t change our relationship with the ocean if we don’t address some of the systemic biases that exist in our discipline. A lot of research shows that the more diversity you have in your scientific team, the more innovation you’re going to have. I think that’s something we should strive for in marine science, because we need to have many perspectives represented to reflect the diversity of the society we live in”, said Dr Johannesen. Dr Johanessen’s PhD dissertation is entitled "Gender Inequality in the Practice of International Marine Science. Case Study on the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea”. It looks at the institutional aspects of gender inequality, what leads to gender equality, and how marine science institutions can change to make them more equal. Dr Johanessen's studies were conducted within the WMU Empowering Women for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Programme. With support from Fisheries and Oceans Canada / Pêches et Océans Canada, the purpose of the Empowering Women research programme is to advance an alternative, inclusive model for the sustainable governance of ocean spaces and maritime activities that duly takes into account the need to ensure effective gender equality and the empowerment of women at all levels in order to ensure the sustainable management of the global ocean. https://lnkd.in/diyKB-MQ #women #seawomen #seawomenexpeditions #oceans #oceandecade #oceanresearch #oceanexploration #arctic #arcticocean #gender #equity #inclusion UN Ocean Decade UN Women Women in Ocean Science Women in Polar Science Arctic Council
