Navigating climate disinformation and the role of social media

Discover how climate disinformation spreads and the practical steps you can take to recognise and counter disinformation narratives.  

Join the Navigating climate disinformation and the role of social media webinar to explore what climate disinformation is, how it spreads, who is driving it, and how it is evolving – including the growing rise of AI-generated content. 

This course is for you if you want:

• concrete examples of climate disinformation circulating across Europe, drawn from the European Digital Media Observatory network’s monitoring
• a clear view of how the EU is currently tackling climate disinformation
• practical tools to spot, analyse and counter climate disinformation in your community.
