News Impact Summit:
Fighting climate misinformation
The News Impact Summit in Copenhagen will address how climate misinformation undermines public trust in climate policies and stalls progress toward a green transition. Across Europe, vested interests and populist movements have fueled misinformation campaigns that delay crucial environmental actions.
Journalists and media professionals play a crucial role in confronting these threats by exposing greenwashing, political pressure, and disinformation that compromise climate action. The summit offers journalists a hub to strategize effective responses to these narratives.
Through talks, panels, workshops, and interactive discussions, attendees will explore innovative storytelling techniques to highlight the urgency of climate action, debunk falsehoods, and empower communities to demand accountability from policymakers and industry stakeholders.
Foreign Press Association in Denmark FPA is a partner with European Journalism Centre and we invite our colleagues to register – free of charge- in this summit.

- Immerse yourself in the world of climate journalism through keynote presentations and interactive, hands-on sessions.
- Learn best practices to reinforce the reliability of climate journalism and foster increased community engagement in climate-related conversations.
