Welcome
Start here if you're new to ACT.
Hi, we are ACT Climate Labs.
We are a group of advertising and climate experts with a track record of creating innovative and impactful creative campaigns around social issues and climate change.
Our mission is to supercharge the effectiveness of climate communications with advertising techniques that allow us to make climate action mainstream, and get others to follow our lead. This starts with climate communicators breaking out of our bubble.
We offer marketing and advertising expertise through:
ACT Intelligence: newsletters highlighting current misinformation trends and practical guides to combatting them
ACT Network: a closed Slack group for insight sharing and peer-to-peer learning, webinars and in-person events with experts
ACT Advertising: creative campaigns to test different approaches to making climate communications more effective
Climate disinformation and misinformation refers to deceptive or misleading content that:
Undermines the existence or impacts of climate change, the unequivocal human influence on climate change, and the need for corresponding urgent action according to the IPCC scientific consensus and in line with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement;
Misrepresents scientific data, including by omission or cherry-picking, in order to erode trust in climate science, climate-focused institutions, experts, and solutions; or
Falsely publicises efforts as supportive of climate goals that in fact contribute to climate warming or contravene the scientific consensus on mitigation or adaptation.
It is vital that we work collectively to get ahead of misinformation so that it doesn’t derail climate action.
