The objective of this pilot program is to provide European fact-checking organisations with a concrete package of resources that can help them identify and debunk disinformation campaigns about climate and environmental disasters that have effects on public opinion

The proposal will:

• Assess the challenges and needs of EU fact-checkers with regards to crisis response and collect learnings from recent crises;
• Provide fact-checkers with a toolkit - a package of resources- that can help them boost their crisis-readiness and response;
• Test the package of resources with a group of European fact-checkers on the example of climate change and related crises.
