COP29: What the UN and Brazil plan to do • Table.Briefings

Want to combat climate disinformation: Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and UN Secretary-General António Guterres, here in New York last September.

The UN and Brazil want to combat disinformation campaigns that delay and derail climate action. Six countries have joined their initiative so far. A joint fund will initially support anti-disinformation measures with 10 to 15 million US dollars.

Over the next three years, 10 to 15 million US dollars will flow into a fund to combat climate disinformation. This is a core element of the „Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change“ announced by the UN, UNESCO and the Brazilian government at the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. The initiative was presented at COP29 in Baku on Wednesday. It is also intended to benefit the preparations for COP30 in Brazil.
