Climate Action Requires Truth: COP30 Must Codify Information Integrity

The document argues that coordinated climate disinformation, largely driven by the fossil fuel industry and amplified by Big Tech, constitutes a global emergency that delays the energy transition and threatens public health and human rights. It calls on COP30 participants to move beyond the mere recognition of this threat to implement mandatory, verifiable actions and regulatory measures against the monetization of disinformation and greenwashing.

• Coordinated disinformation campaigns, primarily organized and financed by the fossil fuel industry, are intentionally designed to obstruct climate action by creating a false impression of public apathy and division, which in turn slows the energy transition and discredits renewable energy.
• Climate disinformation is characterized as a multi-faceted global emergency that directly sabotages international cooperation and makes the goals of the Paris Agreement unattainable.
• The spread of climate falsehoods is identified as a direct threat to public health, human rights, and security, as it delays life-saving transitions and erodes trust in democratic institutions.
• Big Tech platforms and vested-interest media are cited as the primary vehicles for mass-producing manipulative content, profiting from the monetization of disinformation and greenwashing.
• The signatories demand that COP30 move from the mere recognition of information integrity to the implementation of mandatory and verifiable actions, including the use of legislative and regulatory powers to curb the influence of platforms that profit from manipulative content.
