While this is the first time COP30 has addressed climate disinformation, the declaration signals that we will not let disinformation win. foe.org/victory-stor...

Thanks to years of work by @caadcoalition.bsky.social, the declaration has been endorsed by 18 countries, meaning they have committed to promoting evidence-based climate research, media integrity, and climate science.

Private corporations are using false algorithms to amplify climate denial and push climate disinformation, with the goal of reducing access to accurate information on climate change and eroding trust in climate science. All of this is done in the name of profits

A landmark declaration at COP30 is calling on governments, society, academia and funders to rally against climate disinformation campaigns pushed by fossil fuel companies!

"Free speech is at the core of this case, just not in the way Musk’s supporters want you to think.
