\"Creative + <\/strong>\"Digital<\/h1>\n

Today, Creative Commons (CC) joins the <\/span>Digital Public Goods Alliance<\/span><\/a> (DPGA) as a new member. The DPGA is a multi-stakeholder initiative with a mission to accelerate the attainment <\/span>of the sustainable development goals in low- and middle-income countries by facilitating the discovery, development, use of, and investment in digital public goods (DPGs). <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Creative Commons to the Digital Public Goods Alliance. Their licenses and legal tools are pivotal for enhancing the sharing of DPGs, enabling more open, accessible tools to tackle global challenges. Similarly, Creative Commons’ commitment to training and capacity building supports governments and institutions in adopting open policies and practices, enriching the DPG ecosystem and equipping advocates with the needed knowledge. Their Open Climate Campaign and Open Climate Data project, is a testament to the power of open access in addressing critical issues like the climate crisis and biodiversity preservation. Together, we look forward to making significant strides towards a more open and sustainable world.\u201d – Liv Marte Nordhaug, Chief Executive Officer, DPGA Secretariat<\/span><\/p>\n

Solving the world\u2019s most pressing challenges requires the open licensing and sharing of digital knowledge and cultural heritage assets about those challenges. By advocating for the use and implementation of <\/span>DPGs<\/span><\/a>, global communities can work together in prioritizing and mobilizing\u00a0<\/span>resources to help solve these challenges. CC\u2019s legal tools and our programs play a critical role in helping to achieve the DPGA\u2019s mission and advance the DPG ecosystem overall.<\/span><\/p>\n
