Episode 6: Forest funding, fighting greenwashing and fossil fuel adverts

Welcome to COP30 Covered - the daily podcast show from the award-winning edie team which will be keeping you informed and inspired during the 2025 UN climate summit in Brazil. This sixth episode, released Thursday 13 November 2025, focuses on tackling climate-related misinformation and disinformation. With the rise of AI deepfakes and with public trust in traditional information sources waning, information integrity has been added to the COP agenda for the first time. We explore what that means in practice with Maria Correa, advisor and spokesperson for Creatives for Climate. Creatives for Climate says it takes a systemic approach to reducing the influence of big polluters on creative industries including TV, PR, print media and advertising. It works with more than 7,000 creatives worldwide on this imporant issue. We also bring you the biggest headlines from the UN climate summit in brief, covering everything from the attendance of Indigenous groups to scuffles over agreements on the energy transition.
