Call for examples of addressing mis/disinformation and the SDGs? Share your actions with the UN.

IFLA is encouraging library and information professionals to provide information about their work in countering  mis- and disinformation. The United Nations (UN) Department of Global Communications is collecting information on activities which could be said to contribute to the Suistainable Development Goals (SDGs). Deadline for submissions is 31 December 2025. 
"Are you working on topics advancing the role of information in achieving the SDGs? Are you working on helping library professionals and users counter mis- and disinformation related to climate, peace and justice, health, or any of the other topics covered by the goals?"
"Describe your action, its goals, methods and target audience. Indicate if its planned, ongoing or completed. Is your action research oriented, building public awareness, Media and digital literacy training, or something else? Share the primary focus area. Indicate which SDG(s) it targets Your input will contribute to a cataloguing of activities that help showcase good practices, share achievements, identify gaps and inform policy guidance."
