Do you check, report on or respond to climate claims?
ClimateSense builds tools for people who work on climate misinformation. We need your view to make them fit how you work. Join a 45-minute online session, see a tool and tell us what would help.
What happens in a session
- We show you one of our tools with a real example: the database of fact-checks, the map of where claims appear, or the database of who lobbies against climate policy (LACK).
- We ask how you deal with climate claims: where they come from, what you check and where you get stuck.
- You tell us what would help you and what the tools are missing. We use this to improve them.
About ClimateSense
ClimateSense (Climate Misinformation Surveillance and Analysis with Multidimensional GIS) is a research project designed to combat climate-related misinformation through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Climate misinformation remains widespread. It affects public perception and obstructs effective climate policymaking.
The project builds a multidimensional GIS that integrates climate metrics (temperature, precipitation, wind, carbon emissions) with misinformation data from fact-checkers and media platforms. It lets users explore where climate misinformation emerges, how it spreads and how it relates to observed climate and policy conditions. This enables more targeted monitoring, better prioritisation for fact-checkers and clearer evidence for policy actors. The system will be evaluated using data from the next three COP conferences.
