Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change launches Priorities for Action on artificial intelligence

13 November 2026

A set of recommendations called Priorities for Action on AI and Climate Information Integrity was launched at the United Nations climate conference at Antalya in Turkiye.
Behind it stands the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change. The United Nations, UNESCO and Brazil lead that body together.
The document asks artificial intelligence companies to study how their systems affect the quality of climate information, to publish what they find, and to disclose their energy use along with their carbon, water and land footprints.
It urges governments to write information integrity into their national artificial intelligence strategies and their climate plans.
The United Nations Independent International Scientific Panel on AI has warned that producing fluent text is easier than producing factual text.
The initiative notes that machine-made images and videos can spread faster than official warnings when a climate disaster strikes.
Germany has committed more than 2.2 million dollars towards research, communication strategies and public awareness work.
