By utilizing open-source tools like Snap!, eco-social designers can create compelling narratives that highlight issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This can foster greater awareness and drive action towards sustainability. Challenges include ensuring data accuracy and overcoming potential resistance to open-source adoption in traditional settings. Politically, there may be hurdles in advocating for open data policies that support such initiatives. ## Links [Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Belgium Licence](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/be/deed.en)
