Policy only works if it can withstand reality 🧪 Climate misinformation evolves rapidly, but regulation often struggles to keep pace.

In The RePlaybook: A Field Guide to the Climate and Information Crisis, Katharina Zuegel from the Forum for Information Democracy explores how policies like the Digital Services Act can be tested, challenged, and improved to better tackle climate disinformation.

Effective regulation requires more than good intentions. It demands ongoing scrutiny, practical testing, and adaptation to rapidly changing digital ecosystems.

Want to learn how policy stress-testing can strengthen climate information governance? Explore The RePlaybook.

🔺 The Toxic Triangle is a unique look into young people’s online experiences and the industry behind them 🔺

The Toxic Triangle consists of three forces that shape the online world that young people experience:

🧐 Youth Sphere is an ecosystem that shapes the culture of an entire generation of young people through its role in identity formation.

💰 Marketplace is where platforms, creators, advertisers, and large AI content farms exchange engagement for social and financial currency.

📺 Attention Machine captures and calibrates attention from users to maximize reach and time spent online.

Together, these three components create a feedback loop that often sacrifices young people's wellbeing and resists simple fixes.

The Toxic Triangle is a closed-door session for decision-makers, foundations, journalists, and NGOs. It offers an over-the-shoulder view of young people’s online experiences, exploring how technologies work and how they’re monetized.

Climate misinformation moves fast ⚡ But what if we could detect harmful narratives before they spiral?

In The RePlaybook: A Field Guide to the Climate and Information Crisis, Maria Amelie and Max Voievoda from Factiverse explore how AI-powered monitoring tools can map climate narratives in real time during crises and breaking news events.

From floods to wildfires, misinformation spreads rapidly across platforms, shaping public perception while facts struggle to catch up. By tracking trends early, researchers and communicators can identify emerging narratives, respond faster, and better protect information integrity.

Want to learn how narrative monitoring can help forecast climate misinformation in your region? Explore The RePlaybook.

Climate advocacy online comes with real risks 🛡️ Harassment, trolling, intimidation, and burnout are increasingly shaping the experience of climate communicators and activists.

In The RePlaybook: A Field Guide to the Climate and Information Crisis, Sophie Lally, Guendalina De Luigi, and Amber McIntyre reflect on resilience, safety, and sustaining activism in hostile digital environments.

Building resilience is not only about individual protection. It is about collective care, long-term sustainability, and defending the people working on the frontlines of climate communication.

What does it mean to be critical about Artificial Intelligence?

AI isn't just algorithms and chat bots, it's embedded in vast political, economic, and social systems. Tactical Tech co-founder Marek Tuszynski has compiled 30+ resources to help you question, reflect, and decide how to engage.

Some are fun, some creative, some shockingly severe. All help us understand the powers behind even the simplest chatbot.

Platforms do not regulate themselves ⚖️ The systems shaping climate discourse online are deeply influenced by policy, governance, and political pressure.

In The RePlaybook: A Field Guide to the Climate and Information Crisis, Ana Romero-Vicente from EU Disinfo Lab examines how stronger governance frameworks can help address climate misinformation at its roots.

From transparency requirements to platform accountability, governance structures shape how information ecosystems function — and whether harmful narratives can flourish unchecked.
