Description

This updated factsheet offers a timely overview of how major social media platforms are responding to climate disinformation – and where gaps remain. With the Digital Services Act (DSA) reshaping the regulatory landscape, this factsheet helps you understand what has changed since 2023, and why it matters for climate communication and public trust.

The factsheet reviews policy developments across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, and, newly added, LinkedIn. You’ll discover how each platform frames climate misinformation within its rules, how enforcement has evolved, and where commitments have stalled or regressed.

Explore the full factsheet and discover how platforms are working towards meaningful, climate specific action.
