The media play a crucial role as the 'fourth power' and influence support for climate policy. At the same time, they are susceptible to disinformation, which increasingly takes the form of delay discourses. Economic delaying frames are disseminated through traditional media thereby undermining climate action. A systematic overview of these narratives in Dutch media is lacking. Inoculation against disinformation is an effective combatant, but has never been applied to journalists. This project will therefore develop an automated detection model, create a resilience toolkit together with journalists, and measure its impact, in order to weaken opposing forces in the climate transition.
Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action
What does an economy look like that focuses not on GDP growth, but on well-being, ecology and justice?
What is needed to achieve this sustainable economy and how is our current economic system holding back these changes?
We are exploring these questions from a practical perspective as part of the program: ‘Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action’. Together with partners from academia, the professional sector, government and social movements, we are working to shape this transition, set it in motion and anchor it. In doing so, we actively apply knowledge in practice to bring about a transformation of our current economic system.
