COP27 Survival Kit

New guide provides advice on how to get ahead of and respond to climate change disinformation during the summit.

ACT Climate Labs, member of the CAAD coalition, has put together a helpful guide – COP27 Survival Kit – providing advice on how to get ahead of and respond to climate change disinformation during the summit.

Key tips include leveraging pre-bunking campaigns, involving:

  • targeting the right audience
  • breaking out of the echo chamber
  • thinking about framing

Once disinformation breaks out, important tactics involve:

  • don’t amplify disinformation
  • rebut – but only where appropriate.
