Summary
QuotaClimat asserts that climate disinformation poses economic, security, and democratic threats to the European Union, arguing that existing laws like the Digital Services Act and AI Act lack specific measures to address it. The organization advocates for the recognition of climate disinformation as a distinct risk and proposes a strategy based on sectoral action, regulatory reinforcement, and the protection of journalists. In collaboration with journalist federations and environmental NGOs, QuotaClimat supports a six-point manifesto to strengthen media regulation, combat false information on CSR policies and scientific consensus, and protect environmental journalists as whistleblowers.
Key insights
- Existing European Union legislative tools, including the Digital Services Act, the AI Act, the European Media Freedom Act, and the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, are deemed insufficient because they lack specific and adapted measures to address climate disinformation.
- QuotaClimat proposes a three-pillar European response: implementing targeted sectoral measures (from renewable energy to agriculture), filling the regulatory void to better identify and counter climate disinformation, and protecting the democratic mission of media by supporting environmental journalists and updating ethical safeguards.
- The organization supports a six-axis manifesto developed with international and European journalist federations and environmental NGOs, which includes granting environmental journalists whistleblower status and fighting false information regarding the scientific consensus on global warming and CSR policies.
