Improving Media Literacy to Combat Climate Change: Utilizing Data to Counter Misinformation

“This proposal aims to address the critical issue of climate change misinformation by leveraging data-driven multimedia content and cross-cultural collaboration, through a partnership between the Sociolegal Research Center at UCC, the Department of Communication at UTA, the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies of Colombia, and the Weather Channel en Español. The meteorological content will enable students to demonstrate these phenomena while simultaneously providing an opportunity for the enhancement of their research and multicultural communication capabilities.”
