What you'll be working on:

Misinformation and disinformation are now huge factors in shaping public opinion and our political discourse, and that includes decision making on climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identified misinformation about climate science as a specific factor that has undermined the understanding of risks and delayed action in North America [1]. At the most recent UN climate negotiations the Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change was launched, establishing shared international commitments to address climate disinformation and recognizing its role in delaying action on climate change and destabilizing society [2]. There is growing recognition that the spread of misinformation online is impacting us in the real world, delaying action on climate change, and costing lives.

Greenpeace Canada will be investigating the patterns and methods behind the misinformation that is impacting Canada’s climate politics and exposing the strategies and the actors involved. We will also develop tools, resources, and strategies to counter the harmful impacts of this mis and disinformation, and empower the public to resist strategies to misinform them.
