The report identifies a persistent FIMI landscape in Poland, characterized by Russian and Belarusian operations targeting Ukrainian refugees, the EU, and democratic institutions. It highlights the use of coordinated inauthentic behavior, AI-generated content, and content laundering to amplify polarizing narratives. While public resilience and civil society interventions limited the impact, the report notes significant platform failures—particularly on X, Meta, and TikTok—and a regulatory vacuum due to the absence of a permanent Digital Services Coordinator in Poland.

The report identifies 545 domestic extremist accounts in Canada, analyzing over 413,000 posts. It finds that ethnonationalists and white supremacists are the most prolific, while anti-Muslim extremists achieve the highest engagement. Hate speech decreased by 34% from the previous period, with migrants and Jewish people being the primary targets. The document also introduces a new analysis of violent speech, noting peaks coinciding with political events like Justin Trudeau's resignation and Donald Trump's rhetoric regarding Canada.

The report analyzes 883 posts featuring AI-generated content (AIGC) from German far-right accounts, finding that generative AI is used as a cost-effective complement to existing digital strategies. Key actors include the AfD, 'Neue Rechte' outlets, and AI-generated 'influencers'. The content primarily focuses on anti-migrant narratives, attacks on the 'traffic light' coalition government, and the glorification of an idealized German identity. The study highlights a significant lack of platform compliance with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and the AI Act regarding the labeling and removal of misleading AIGC.

The document details a campaign of coordinated inauthentic activity on social media platforms—primarily X, Facebook, and YouTube—attributed to Azerbaijan during the lead-up to and duration of COP29. It highlights the use of thousands of bot-like accounts to amplify pro-government and pro-fossil fuel messaging while drowning out criticism of the regime's human rights record and climate policies. The report criticizes Big Tech companies for failing to enforce policies against coordinated inauthentic behavior and calls for better guardrails in the COP Presidency process.

This report by QuotaClimat examines how climate disinformation has moved from social media fringes into mainstream news outlets, particularly in France. It identifies structural vulnerabilities in the media industry—such as financial crises, the rise of 'infotainment', and a regulatory vacuum—that allow anti-science narratives to proliferate. The document argues that news media, despite their perceived credibility, often act as channels for disinformation through 'false balance' and selective framing. It concludes by advocating for a new legislative framework in France to mandate environmental coverage standards and strengthen the role of the regulator, Arcom.

The report argues that Norway's 'energy culture' is heavily skewed by the petroleum industry, creating a 'petroculture' that marginalizes climate-critical perspectives. It highlights the contrast between the Norwegian Directorate of Culture's focus on internal emission reductions and Arts Council England's systemic approach. The document details how the oil industry uses 'petroganda'—including STEM sponsorships for children and academic agreements—to maintain legitimacy and delay the energy transition. It also notes a trend of Norwegian cultural organizations taking stances against oil exploration and discusses the criminalization of climate activists in Norway.

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 document argues that climate disinformation, driven by vested interests and enabled by big tech, undermines global climate negotiations and public safety. It urges governments to adopt the UN's Global Principles For Information Integrity and pressure social media, advertising, and publishing companies to recognize the threat, adopt a universal definition of climate disinformation, and implement transparent plans to stop its spread.

The document is an open letter from a broad coalition of individuals and organizations calling for COP30 to move beyond the mere recognition of climate disinformation and instead implement binding, verifiable measures to protect information integrity. It argues that coordinated disinformation, primarily funded by the fossil fuel industry, sabotages the energy transition, threatens public health and human rights, and undermines the goals of the Paris Agreement. The signatories call on governments to regulate tech platforms that profit from manipulative content and demand an end to greenwashing and the monetization of disinformation.

The report identifies a 'dangerously polluted' digital information landscape where Big Tech platforms allow 'super-spreaders' to propagate debunked claims against renewable energy and electric vehicles. It highlights how disinformation operations weaponise extreme weather events, such as wildfires, to decouple them from environmental drivers and fuel opposition to climate policies. Additionally, the analysis reveals that eight fossil fuel advertisers spent at least $17.6 million on Meta for over 700 million impressions to greenwash their image and lobby for US policy changes. The document warns that degrading researcher access to data is hindering the ability to track these trends and argues that systemic architectural problems and profit motives must be addressed rather than relying solely on fact-checking.

Project Drawdown asserts its commitment to science-based climate action and the defense of scientific evidence against disinformation, particularly in anticipation of the Trump administration's likely promotion of fossil fuels and weakening of environmental laws. The organization intends to shift its focus toward celebrating climate leadership found in cities, towns, private companies, and community-led initiatives rather than federal leadership.

The report details how Koch, Inc. and its executives had access to scientific warnings about global warming as early as 1972 but spent decades financing a network of nonprofits and think tanks to obstruct climate action. This was achieved by contesting climate science, running public relations campaigns to shift cultural understanding, and lobbying political elites. The document tracks this effort from early API and National Petroleum Council reports through the funding of the Competitive Enterprise Institute's 'global warming project' and the activities of Americans for Prosperity, culminating in significant policy victories during the Trump administration and continued opposition to Biden-era climate legislation.

Climate Action Against Disinformation, Kairos, Friends of the Earth, and 41,000 advocates sent a letter to Google demanding the permanent demonetization of climate change deniers. The authors argue that while Google has a policy against climate denial, it fails to provide necessary resources, thereby allowing disinformation networks to flourish for profit.

The document identifies a Russian propaganda campaign that exploited the aftermath of hurricanes Milton and Helene to foster domestic discontent in the US. Russian state-affiliated outlets, including RT and Sputnik, amplified narratives claiming the Biden administration diverted disaster relief funds to Ukraine and migrants. The analysis highlights a strategy of amplifying existing divisive US domestic discourse and the use of AI-generated imagery to portray devastation. The report notes that these campaigns spread largely unchecked on social media platforms, particularly X, to erode trust in democratic institutions and reduce support for Ukraine.

The report identifies a dual-track narrative strategy: 'Type A' narratives that exploit societal vulnerabilities to sow discord (such as anti-immigrant and gendered disinformation), and 'Type B' narratives that erode trust in democratic institutions (including electoral fraud and anti-West rhetoric). It details the use of advanced Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) based on the DISARM framework, highlighting the role of AI-generated deepfakes, website cloning, and coordinated inauthentic behavior. The findings suggest that despite EU guidelines under the Digital Services Act, voluntary recommendations are insufficient to protect democratic processes from these evolving, often state-sponsored, threats.

The analysis of over 30,000 social media posts reveals that climate misinformation often outperforms pro-climate narratives in reach and engagement. The report identifies a tactical playbook used by accounts to game platform algorithms, including the use of the news cycle and the seeding of misinformation from outside the UK. These activities are linked to financial incentives, including funding from the fossil fuel industry and direct monetization through advertising or merchandise, which ultimately slows the implementation of climate policy in the UK.

The document examines climate-related disinformation spread by Tenet Media and its affiliated creators between September 1, 2023, and September 23, 2024. It identifies 183 posts engaging in 'bad acting' or disinformation, which garnered over 23.5 million views across various platforms, with X/Twitter being the most prominent. The analysis categorizes the disinformation into six primary narratives: mockery of advocates, concerns over food and gas stoves, opposition to diversity, scientific denialism, conspiracy theories like the 'Great Reset', and accusations of hypocrisy and elitism.

The briefing outlines a UN report by Special Rapporteur Elisa Morgera emphasizing that access to quality, evidence-based information is a fundamental human right essential for climate decision-making. It identifies the threats posed by misinformation and disinformation—specifically regarding 'false or misleading solutions' like natural gas and certain types of hydrogen—and calls for proactive transparency from states and businesses. The document also highlights the contradictory role of digital platforms, which facilitate information sharing but often prioritize profit-driven engagement over information integrity.

The document outlines how heat pumps are targeted by 'Cost of Net Zero' misinformation, which portrays them as expensive, inefficient, and unsuitable for certain homes. It provides factual rebuttals—such as the potential for £340 savings when replacing G-rated boilers and the ability of pumps to operate at -25 degrees—and advises communicators to use positive case studies and avoid social media algorithms to reach 'Persuadables'.

The EU Digital Services Act (DSA), fully in force as of 17 February 2024, establishes a systemic online safety framework for digital intermediary services. It imposes tiered obligations based on societal impact, with the most stringent requirements applied to Very Large Online Platforms and Search Engines (VLOPs and VLOSEs)—those with 45 million or more monthly EU users. These entities must conduct annual risk assessments and implement mitigation measures against systemic risks, including illegal content and negative effects on civic discourse. The DSA introduces transparency mandates for advertising and recommender systems, and establishes a crisis response mechanism for threats to public security or health. Enforcement is shared between the European Commission and national Digital Services Coordinators (DSCs), with potential fines reaching 6 percent of annual turnover.
