How do oil, gas, and coal giants manipulate climate narratives to protect their profits? How does climate disinformation shape government policies and delay urgent climate action? In this hands-on workshop, investigative journalist Liubov Velychko will share the methods and tools used to track and expose disinformation campaigns financed by major polluters, including Shell, ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and Coal India Ltd.

In this session, you will learn:

where to find key data sources on corporate lobbying, campaign funding, and PR influence.
how to analyze financial flows behind disinformation campaign, track disinformation influencers and identify key figures spreading climate disinformation
practical techniques for uncovering covert industry-funded research that distorts climate science.

You will leave the session with a toolkit of investigative methods for tracking climate disinformation, a list of reliable databases and sources for following money and influence, practical techniques for fact-checking corporate claims and policy manipulation, and a clearer understanding of how climate disinformation impacts global climate action.
