Climate Truth Detectives: How to Spot Greenwashing and Misinformation

A 60-minute, interactive workshop by Climate Action Live that turns climate literacy into a detective game. Participants will encounter real-world examples of greenwashing, misleading climate claims and viral misinformation and learn to spot the tricks behind them. Through quick-fire quizzes, “greenwashing bingo” and a mock climate “court”, they will investigate claims such as “carbon neutral”, “clean fuel” and “eco-friendly” and learn to distinguish between a false claim, a technically true claim presented without context and a genuinely evidence-backed solution.

It is designed for students, educators and interested laypersons, with the aim of leaving participants better equipped to navigate the climate information they encounter in classrooms, media, advertising and social media.
