The rise of disinformation is a major challenge for Europe. Some 71% of people report being frequently exposed to disinformation, and around nine out of ten 25–39 year-olds report being personally exposed to it in the past 7 days. These numbers become especially relevant when it comes to climate disinformation, given the threat posed by the climate crisis.
In this webinar, Jeremy Herry from the European Commission (Directorate-general for Climate Action) introduces their newly launched campaign #ClimateFactsMatter, followed by Stephanie Hankey from Tactical Tech, who shares insights on climate disinformation trends and solutions from her latest publication, The RePlaybook.
