During COP26, four primary delayist narratives trended: 'Hypocrisy and Elitism', 'Absolutionism', 'Unreliability of Renewables', and 'Ineffective Electric Vehicles'. The authors argue that a small group of 'repeat offender' influencers and right-wing media outlets drive the majority of this content, often leveraging algorithmic amplification on platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The report concludes with seven policy recommendations, including the adoption of a unified definition of climate disinformation and stricter enforcement against repeat offenders.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"Climate opposition has evolved from outright denial to 'discourses of delay', which accept the existence of climate change but 'justify inaction or inadequate efforts'.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-1","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Four key 'discourses of delay' were identified on social media during COP26: 'Hypocrisy and Elitism', 'Absolutionism', 'Unreliability of Renewables', and 'Ineffective Electric Vehicles'.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-2","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The 'Hypocrisy and Elitism' narrative was the most active around COP26, portraying the summit as elitist and highlighting alleged double standards, such as the use of private jets by delegates.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-3","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The 'Absolutionism' narrative seeks to excuse a country from climate action by pointing to the perceived failings of other states, frequently targeting China and India in Western contexts.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-4","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Disinformation regarding the unreliability of renewables often uses unrelated images or false claims, such as the debunked assertion that COP26 was powered by diesel generators.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-5","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"A small number of 'repeat offender' accounts generate a disproportionate amount of anti-climate content; 16 Twitter accounts amassed 507,000 interactions, far exceeding 148 other known sceptic accounts.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-6","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Climate sceptic communities on social media often overlap with other 'culture war' and anti-science groups, including those focused on COVID-19 and anti-vaccine sentiment.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-7","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Authoritative sources on Facebook, such as those in the Climate Science Center, receive significantly less engagement than climate sceptic actors, with the latter garnering 12 times the level of interaction.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-8","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Mainstream media outlets, specifically the Daily Mail, The Telegraph, and the Wall Street Journal, serve as vectors for laundering climate scepticism and 'discourses of delay' into the mainstream.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-9","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Carbon Majors use sponsored advertising to spread disinformation; for example, ExxonMobil spent over $4 million on 1,211 Facebook and Instagram ads containing energy and climate mis- and disinformation.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"isdglo-000149#insight-10","date_modified":"2026-10-23"}],"climate_tags":["climate change disinformation","renewable energy","electric vehicle","2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference","greenwashing","climate policy"],"geography_discussed":["United Kingdom","United States","Canada","Australia","Glasgow","People's Republic of China","India"],"frame_perspective":[],"analysis_type":["social media analysis","network analysis","policy assessment","content analysis"]},{"id":"prio-001374","url":"https://climateinsightsdirectory.org/document/prio-001374","title":"Exporting ‘active citizenship’: Foreign support for citizenship education in the Arab world","publisher":{"name":"Peace Research Institute Oslo","organization":"peace-research-institute-oslo"},"document_type":"research paper","language":"en","date_published":null,"source_url":"https://cdn.cloud.prio.org/files/ff87174e-8f19-4be2-a529-446fd51f6e00/Exporting active citizenship foreign support for citizenship education in the Arab world.pdf?inline=true","generator":"Climate Insights Directory","generated_fields":["summary","key_insights","climate_tags","geography_discussed","analysis_type"],"summary":{"text":"The research examines nine donor-supported active citizenship programs implemented between 2010 and 2015 in Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, and Tunisia.
