In this episode, we put the climate conversation into the spotlight, exploring how disinformation can drown out more nuanced, evidence-based perspectives. When that happens, it's easy to think those who care are in the minority — and climate progress stalls.
What is climate disinformation? Who is most vulnerable to believing it? Who is spreading it? And what is Europe doing to tackle it?
Three experts in social science, disinformation research, and digital governance discuss this complex landscape: Max Falkenberg, Computational Social Scientist, AI+ Senior Research Fellow at King’s College London and Principal Investigator of the Horizon Europe project POLARCLIMATE; Jennie King, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and co-founder of Climate Action Against Disinformation; and Paul Nemitz, former adviser at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice, visiting Professor at the College of Europe.
