  • RePlaybook: A Field Guide to the Climate and Information Crisis

    We are experiencing a climate and information crisis. The digital information landscape is fast becoming a toxic wasteland. The distortion of knowledge is accelerating polarisation, radicalisation, and confusion — endangering our ability to respond to climate change. The question is, what can we do?

    The RePlaybook gathers insights from 30 organisations and practitioners at the forefront of the response. From attention-sucking algorithms to AI-generated slop, it explores how our information environment is shaping and influencing opinion on climate and offers strategies to decode disorder, challenge tech paradigms, and counteract division.

    Digital technologies impact the environment, but also shape the way society understands and responds to the climate crisis. Increasingly, actors work with data-driven technologies to set narratives that sometimes spread confusion. We advance knowledge and build the capacity of professionals and decision-makers to understand and respond to this influence in the industry through training, residencies, masterclasses, and toolkits.
