Event Description
As climate mis/disinformation continues to shape public discourse, environmental health scientists need practical tools to identify, evaluate, and respond to false narratives. This webinar provides a foundational primer on the differences between misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, and equips participants with actionable strategies to combat them. Join Ms. Elyse Martin (Environmental Defense Fund) as she walks through how to spot misleading content, leverage fact-checkingresources, and craft effective responses using evidence-based frameworks like the Truth Sandwich. Participants will also explore how to navigate conversations with the community and policymakers, including when and how to engage publicly with climate falsehoods.
