Fighting Climate Dis and Misinformation

Misinformation and disinformation on climate change are growing and are one of the major obstacles inhibiting or delaying progress in tackling the issue. The objective of this session is to enhance the capacity of participants to counter misleading information around climate change. It provides the means to identify climate mis/disinformation and the techniques being used to distract from action on climate change. It also goes through tools from image and footage verification to document analysis and corroboration. Through exercises, participants will use these methods to analyse climate mis/disinformation.
