Carta Aberta: governos devem agir agora para conter a desinformação climática

The document is an open letter calling on governments to combat climate disinformation, which it argues undermines public understanding and delays urgent climate action. It specifically demands that governments hold media, advertising technology, and tech companies accountable by encouraging them to adopt a universal definition of climate disinformation, increase transparency, and stop the monetization of false content. The signatories advocate for the adoption of the UN's Global Principles for Information Integrity to foster a healthier online environment and support the goals of the Paris Agreement and IPCC scientific consensus.

• The signatories argue that climate disinformation is promoted by hidden interests and damages the information ecosystem, thereby hindering the progress of crucial negotiations such as COP 29 and the G20 Summit in Brazil.
• The letter proposes a universal definition of climate disinformation as deceptive online behavior that undermines the IPCC scientific consensus and Paris Agreement goals, distorts scientific data to erode trust in experts, or falsely claims support for climate goals through practices like greenwashing.
• Governments are urged to pressure tech and media companies to implement specific safeguards, including preventing the monetization of climate disinformation, providing researchers with data access, and using 'inoculation' efforts to build user resilience against false content.
• The document calls for the adoption of the UN's Global Principles for Information Integrity, launched in June 2024, as a comprehensive framework to address the global disinformation crisis.
