The United Arab Emirates says it's "ideally suited to host" COP28 later this year. But climate NGOs, policymakers and scientists are concerned. @jkingy talks to @CNN about how influence operations may ramp up in the lead up to the critical global summit. isdglobal.org/isd-in-the-new…

A recent Valent investigation found large sums of money have been spent on an online effort to undermine support for #ULEZ before the #Uxbridge by-election, which observers say @UKLabour lost due to the clear air policy championed by @mayorofLondon #sadiqkhan check it out 👇 1/27

While prominent climate deniers get millions of views, no brand is safe from being served alongside them. Even @friends_earth ads appeared next to a far-right channel denying that wildfire-induced air pollution and other extreme weather events are a result of climate change.

Researchers found other big brands' ads next to videos peddling conspiracy theories that foreign governments are lying about Amazon deforestation in order to secure access to resources there, and are setting fire to the rainforest to boost fundraising efforts.

From videos denying climate change is real, to spreading lies about forest fires – YouTube continues to allow this content to be monetized, despite promising otherwise. Brands like @lyft, @CalvinKlein, @UNICEF, @Jeep, @panasonic appear alongside this content.

The #COP28 summit will be hosted by a Petrostate and presided over by the CEO of an oil company. How is this translating into PR efforts worldwide, and how can we track info ops in the run-up to December? Great piece by @CNN @IvanaKottasova. edition.cnn.com/2023/07/18/m… @ISDglobal
