The United Nations and the Brazilian government have planned to create a Ministry of Climate Truth to eliminate misinformation about it.

“Actions to combat climate change are also heavily influenced by denial and disinformation,” Brazilian President Lula da Silva said. said in a statement. “Countries cannot solve this problem individually.”

Other UN member countries are participating in this effort, according to the UN statement.

The research, according to the announcement, will gather evidence from around the world on “climate misinformation and its impacts,” which will be used to “strengthen strategic action.”

The announcement does not precisely define what “climate disinformation” is or what steps this initiative will take to stop people from saying things it considers “climate disinformation.”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said “climate disinformation” would encompass a wide range of perspectives that it considers inappropriate.

“We must combat coordinated disinformation campaigns that hinder global progress on climate change, ranging from outright denial to greenwashing to harassment of climate scientists,” Guterres said.
