The spread of misinformation seems to intensify with each passing week. Indeed, it is a defining characteristic of our time! And research tells us that misinformation is doing tangible harm — to public health, mental health, public discourse, personal relationships, and public trust. How did we get here, why do people believe, and what can we do about it?

Join the University of Waterloo and the Waterloo Climate Institute for a conversation on how we find trusted information on climate action in a sea of misinformation. We’ll discuss ways to overcome the confusing and overwhelming options for climate action and build trust in climate science so that we can build resilient communities and live better together.

Knowledge mobilization (KM) aims to bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that valuable insights and evidence are effectively communicated and applied in real-world settings. In this workshop, participants will learn how to apply KM concepts and tactics to improve the impact of their work.
