How can we distinguish scientific facts from misleading narratives in an age of artificial intelligence and information overload? As climate and environmental disinformation continues to spread, understanding how information is created, shared and verified has become an essential skill.
Come join us to experience an afternoon full of discussions, screenings and interactive activities exploring the challenges of climate disinformation and the tools available to counter it.
Designed as a mini climate fair, the event will transform the different spaces of the French Institute into a place for exchange and discovery.
