Verified Champions

Verified Champions is a campaign focused on shifting narratives and improving the information ecosystem around climate change by combating misinformation and disinformation online. As part of the Verified for Climate initiative, a joint program of the United Nations and Purpose, the campaign is supported by TikTok.

The campaign is designed to empower climate experts to become content creators and share their voices online, playing an active role in countering climate misinformation and disinformation narratives with climate facts, insights, and solutions. Through our group of Verified Champions, we aim to share accurate climate information, increase digital literacy, and encourage proactive reporting of misinformation and disinformation on the TikTok platform.

El Ártico se está calentando cuatro veces más rápido que el resto del planeta y todo lo que ocurre allí nos afecta a todos, ya que el aumento de su temperatura y el deshielo tienen consecuencias en todo el mundo, como el aumento del nivel del mar, la erosión costera y cambios en los patrones atmosféricos. Un nuevo estudio de la Universidad de Hamburgo y el Instituto Max Plan revela el aumento de la frecuencia de las olas de calor marinas. #AgentesDeVerificado #VerifiedChampions #ClimateAction #AprendeConTikTok #cienciaentiktok

You will be shocked to know the Biggest threat to climate action in 2024!! I am Pallavi, I am a Verified Champion, as part of joint program of United Nations and Purpose. World Economic Forum declared in their 19th edition of the Global Risks Report 2024, published in January 2024, that the top threat to climate action in 2024 is AI-generated Climate change misinformation and disinformation, ranking first in the short-term global risks severity list! Climate change is what we all are experiencing in some way or the other!  What can you do to help? Stop engaging in climate change denial news and messages! Unfortunately, the social media algorithms will start showing you what you start engaging in and only lead to its spread far and wide!  Only share something forward, written or verbal, about climate change if you are sure about the source and its credibility! AI-generated disinformation is hampering all the efforts we are making to overcome climate change! So, let’s put our hands together to fight mis and disinformation! #verifiedchampions #climateaction   #learnontiktok #theecoloop  #sustainableliving  #fightdisinformation  #unitednations #worldeconomicforum2024
