Climate Liziero

Ideation and prototyping for climate information integrity, developed by geographer Adriano Liziero.

Safeguarding the integrity of climate information is vital for informed democratic choices, effective policy, and public trust. Misinformation—whether through cherry-picked data, false balance, manipulated visuals, or misleading narratives—distorts risk perception, fuels polarization, and delays mitigation and adaptation when time is most critical. Upholding integrity means grounding communication in transparent methods, open and well-documented data, reproducible analyses, and clear explanations of uncertainty and limitations. It also requires rapid corrections, provenance labeling and source verification, accessible plain-language summaries, and culturally and linguistically tailored messaging that resonates with local realities. Strengthening media and data literacy, empowering trusted community messengers, and fostering collaboration among scientists, journalists, educators, civic leaders, and digital platforms are central to countering falsehoods at scale. In an era of AI-accelerated content, resilient information ecosystems—combining pre-bunking and timely debunking, platform accountability, and rigorous editorial standards—are essential. By prioritizing accuracy, transparency, and accountability, societies can translate evidence into equitable climate policies and practical action that protects people and the planet.
