Philip Newell from Climate Action Against Disinformation

Описание: Why This Matters
Climate disinformation doesn’t spread by accident. It’s engineered by PR professionals, amplified by algorithms, and funded by those who profit from delay.

But momentum is shifting. Spain, Italy, and the EU are leading the charge, holding Big Tech accountable and protecting the public from digital deception. The EU and Canada's endorsement of the UN Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change marks a turning point: governments are finally committing to defend science-based information, transparency, and public trust.

Learning Objectives
✅ *Learn the tactics* used to spread climate disinformation—and how to spot them.
✅ *Discover actionable tools* to counter false narratives in your community.
✅ *Connect with a global network* of advocates, scientists, and policymakers fighting for truth and climate action.
