  • November Network Event - Climate Misinformation

    5th of November, 2026

    10am – 1:30pm

    The Social Hub, 15 Candleriggs Square, Glasgow, G1 1TQ, UK

    The session will run until 12pm and then lunch will be provided with an opportunity to connect informally with friends and colleagues until 1:30pm.

    The next Glasgow Community Climate Action Network event will focus on climate misinformation and how to address it.

    In the age of social media and AI, and with the rise of populist narratives, misinformation is one of the biggest emerging risks to social programmes in our city. It targets disadvantaged people, divides communities and can undermine climate action in a time where it’s never been more important for communities to be united.

     

    During the session, we’ll hear from:

    Dr. Lluis De Nadal is a lecturer in Media, Culture and Society at the University of Glasgow. He researches resistance to net zero policies and the influence of misinformation. Lluis will discuss the conditions that make people vulnerable to misinformation and radicalisation, and what we can all do to prevent it.

     

    The Ferret is an investigative journalism co-operative that run Scotland-wide. They focus on corruption, environmental harm, political influence, and human rights abuses. They will explore our most common sources of misinformation, how it proliferates online, and some of the motivations behind it.

     

    The Third Sector Human Rights and Equalities (THRE) Project promotes a 'human rights and equalities first' approach in the sector. Their team will run a session on how you can counter populism and misinformed narratives where you find them.

     

    Climate Outreach researches climate communication and the public's views on environmental issues. They will describe what the evidence says about Scotland's beliefs on climate and nature, and the most effective ways of engaging with the public.

     

    During the session, we’ll have an opportunity to hear from members how misinformation affects you, what else we can be doing collectively to tackle the issue and how the Hub can support you.
