CLIMATE MIS-/DISINFORMATION BACKGROUNDER
The document provides a comprehensive framework for understanding climate mis- and disinformation, detailing how a coordinated 'counter-movement' of fossil fuel interests and conservative actors uses tactics like greenwashing, astroturfing, and science denial to obstruct political action. It distinguishes between misinformation (unintentional) and disinformation (deliberate) and highlights the role of social media 'mis-/disinfluencers'. To counter these trends, the briefing recommends systemic platform policies, government regulation, and psychological interventions such as prebunking and debunking.
