A short report published earlier in teh year by UNESCO in English, French and Spanish is Global roadmap for information as a public good in the face of the environmental crisis: key takeaways and a strategy to implement the 2024 World Press Freedom Day Call for Action. Item G in the roadmap focuses on Media and Information Literacy: Empower citizens with media and information literacy skills and competencies to debunk climate disinformation.
- "Develop a media and information literacy online course on climate disinformation, to be launched during the 2024 Global Media and Information Literacy week
- "Develop a campaign and a global fact-checking initiative inspired by the #Coronavirusfacts project with a transdisciplinary dimension between UNESCO’s sectors.
- "Integrate a climate and environmental dimension in all the new media and information literacy resources targeting different stakeholders (toolkit for media organizations, toolkit for youth organizations, MOOC for digital content creators)."
