To address the worsening climate crisis and the rising spread of disinformation, UNESCO and its Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) have introduced a free online course. This course aims to help citizens develop media and information literacy skills to combat climate dis- and misinformation. 

In particular, the course aims to: 

• Improve comprehension of climate change and highlight the value of identifying and trusting evidence-based data and scientific facts. 
   
• Develop critical thinking and fact-checking abilities to assess climate information from various sources. 
   
• Promote media and information literacy among citizens and motivate them to support informed and constructive climate action.

The course combines real-world cases, interactive activities, and a variety of disciplinary voices on the subject.
