Climate fact-checking database website now live

13 March 2025 – As part of the EFCSN’s FactCRICIS / EuroClimateCheck project, a climate fact-checking database has been launched which brings together climate-related fact-checks from 25 fact-checking organisations across Europe. The database draws on articles from fact-checking organisations from 15 European countries, representing a groundbreaking initiative to battle climate disinformation crossing borders in Europe.

The culmination of months of development, the database collects and categorises fact-checks from participating fact-checking organisations. By providing a way for the public to directly access this collection, the public-facing interface for this database—the ClimateFactsEurope website—also allows for the European public to stay informed about current climate disinformation narratives circulating on the continent.

Based upon the work of a consortium of fact-checking organisations, a university, a technological firm and the EFCSN, the public database is part of the comprehensive FactCRICIS Resource Pack. The Resource Pack also provides cutting-edge AI tools and expert resources to help fact-checkers working against climate disinformation. Information about the Experts Database and data available from the fact-checking database is also available on the website.
