Municipal Matters : Building capacity for local climate conversations Madhani, Divija; Hamzeh, Ghassan; Sides, Madalen; Côté, Nicolas; Tenove, Chris; Tworek, Heidi

Abstract

Municipal Matters: Building Capacity for Local Climate Conversations examines the challenges of communication around local climate action. We consider if and how communications affect trust and policy efficacy—especially when local policies face the spread of false or misleading information, whether intentional (disinformation) or unintentional (misinformation). While much research focuses on national and global responses to misinformation, little attention has been given to local governments’ roles and capacity on the issue.
