Women Leading Climate Action: Fighting fake news

6 October 2020 The way we consume information has changed dramatically in the last few decades. Self-publishing and social media mean that false or misleading information can be created and shared incredibly fast, seen by thousands before anyone has even stopped to ask if it’s true.

Facilitated by Women’s Agenda Founding Editor, Angela Priestley, we will be joined by three experts in the field: MediaScope advisor Denise Shrivell, climate change psychology researcher, Belinda Xie and Sharon Bhagwan Rolls who leads ActionAid’s Pacific partner, the Shifting the Power Coalition.
