Witnessing for the Middle to Depolarise the Climate Change Conversation
Institute for Strategic Dialogue
This webinar takes a critical look at how right-wing extremist groups have weaponized climate change denial as a tactic to undermine environmental action and progress. By sowing doubt and misinformation around the scientific consensus on global warming, these fringe movements seek to discredit the urgency of the climate crisis and derail efforts to address it.
The webinar delves into the specific strategies and narratives employed by these anti-environmental factions, examining how they leverage fear-mongering, conspiracy theories, and political polarization to sway public opinion and stall meaningful policy changes. It shines a light on the insidious ways in which climate denial has become a central pillar of the culture wars, pitting scientific facts against ideological agendas.
Importantly, the webinar also outlines effective ways to counter this dangerous trend. By arming attendees with a deeper understanding of the tactics used by right-wing extremists, it equips them with the knowledge and tools necessary to challenge misinformation, amplify scientific consensus, and mobilize support for urgent climate action. The webinar emphasizes the critical role that education, coalition-building, and strategic communication can play in combating the anti-environmental front.
As the climate crisis intensifies, it is vital that we confront the forces seeking to undermine environmental progress. This webinar provides a crucial framework for doing so, empowering participants to engage in the fight for a sustainable, equitable future.
