The sustainable school - Dis/misinformation and fake news
False or misleading information can take different forms: Disinformation is information deliberately created to mislead or confuse. Misinformation is incorrect information shared without intent to deceive. Fake news refers to fabricated stories presented as real news, often designed to attract attention, influence opinions, or spread doubt. All three can distort young people’s understanding of climate change and sustainability.
