The UNESCO-PREV Chair is proud to present this new report, which takes an overview of climate misinformation, disinformation and denial in Quebec and Canada.
The report firstly summarizes what we know about the manifestations of climate denial, its causes, how it relates to misinformation and disinformation, and the solutions being considered to counter it.
Secondly, it provides an analysis of media coverage of climate misinformation, highlighting the issues involved in transmitting information between the scientific community, the general public and other interested parties, who meet at the crossroads of the media.
Thirdly and finally, this report offers a typology of skeptical discourse and misinformation, observed on social networks and propagated by Canadian and Quebec figures. It shows that climate misinformation is a phenomenon that is present in our country, and one that requires further research.
