Young voices from 59 countries came together to share powerful testimonies on climate disinformation and the urgent need for climate action, calling on leaders to act boldly at COP30. The words that echoed most throughout their messages were action, change, future, people, and truth. These testimonies reflect a generation determined to rise above climate disinformation, bridge divides, and build a more sustainable and just world. Their collective message is clear: the fight against climate disinformation is inseparable from the fight for our planet’s future, and youth everywhere are leading that charge.

We highlight and summarize the climate denial information campaign efforts of corporate, private, and political actors.
Mane Tsaturyan, ESN Armenia National Representative | MA in European Interdisciplinary Studies, College of Europe in Natolin, Armenia
“History shows how quickly we unite when facing an external threat. Yet, despite knowing that climate change is a crisis threatening us all, we still hesitate to act. The truth is that rising temperatures and melting ice cannot be negotiated with. As a young person, I hope COP30 becomes the turning point where countries finally come together to protect the only home we share.”
Luise Pestalozza, Tech Policy & Sustainability | Junior Research Consultant, Germany
“AI can be a tool for climate solutions, but only if we are honest about its costs. When data centers compete with communities for water and energy, and when AI amplifies climate misinformation, we are undermining the very future we're trying to build. True innovation demands we address both the environmental and informational impact of our digital choices.”
Sissi Simeonova, Co-founder & CEO of Foody | Forbes 30 under 30 | Youth delegate to the UN | PhD candidate | Lean Six Sigma Black belt | EU Climate pact ambassador, Bulgaria
"Climate resilience isn’t just about saving the planet - it’s about protecting peace and people’s future. Young people are ready to lead the change, but too often the solutions are out of our hands. That is why we don’t only need to be heard, we need to be included in building a more sustainable world."
Giacomo Marsoner, MA Student in International Relations | Postgraduate Master’s Student in Environmental and Economic Policies | Co-Founder and Secretariat member WFF Italy Youth Chapter
"As a student of International Relations and a climate change action and youth engagement enthusiast, I believe in the power of young generations to drive meaningful change. Yet, we cannot effectively tackle climate change if disinformation obscures its true impact. That’s why investing in environmental education for young people is essential, equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to lead, make a real difference, and actively shape the future."
Georgios Karagiorgos, Journalist & Media Researcher | European Youth Press & International Center for the Safety of Journalists | Youth Delegate, Council of Europe & Amnesty International Greece
"Disinformation is the invisible pollutant of our public sphere, as corrosive as carbon in the atmosphere. We are living through a crisis of truth, and with it, the erosion of social trust and collective life. When facts become byproducts of post-truth perception, freedom itself begins to decay. Combating this demands transparent governance, ethical technology, and civic participation that rebuild trust in knowledge. Establishing a public-interest framework to reclaim our digital spaces is no longer an ideal, it is a democratic necessity."
Nurullo Rasulov, IR Journalist and Member of the Youth Parliament of Uzbekistan
“As a journalist, I have seen how climate disinformation spreads and confuses people, making it harder to reach our real goals. We can not fight climate change if truth is lost along the way. I also believe that disarmament matters, because weapons destroy not only lives, but the environment we all depend on. And above all, the real solution lies in the unity and friendship of young people - us, the generation that will shape our shared future.”
