| dc.description.abstract | Critical thinking is a core part of media and information literacy, and libraries continue to champion this by helping communities navigate today’s information society with confidence. A global movement towards Information Integrity for Climate Change recognizes that disinformation about climate change threatens public understanding and delays critical action. As climate change debates become increasingly entangled with fake news and misleading narratives, strengthening digital literacy is more important than ever. In a post-truth environment, access to accurate, evidence-based climate information is essential, and libraries are well placed to support it. This climate edition of IFLA’s Fake News infographic introduces eight clear steps to help readers evaluate the credibility of climate-related news and claims. It encourages everyone to question sources, check evidence, and uphold access to information as a public good. Download, print, translate, and share it in your library, your community, and online to help build a more informed and resilient public. | |
