Britain is one of the main financial backers for this attempt to stifle debate about climate change:
The Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change is a joint partnership between the Brazilian Government, the UN Secretariat and UNESCO.
Bringing together countries, international organizations, and stakeholders worldwide, it aims to promote and defend information integrity on climate change, address disinformation, and enhance climate change awareness and action. It includes a global fund which will finance research into disinformation on climate change and initiatives to promote information integrity.
“Without access to reliable information about climate disruption we can never hope to overcome it. Through this initiative, we will support the journalists and researchers investigating climate issues, sometimes at great risk to themselves, and fight the climate-related disinformation running rampant on social media.”
Audrey AzoulayUNESCO’s Director-General
“We must fight the coordinated disinformation campaigns impeding global progress on climate change, ranging from outright denial to greenwashing to harassment of climate scientists. Through this Initiative, we will work with researchers and partners to strengthen action against climate disinformation.”
António GuterresUN Secretary-General
“Actions to combat climate change are also greatly affected by denialism and disinformation. Countries cannot tackle this problem individually. This initiative will bring together countries, international organizations, and networks of researchers to support joint efforts to combat disinformation and promote actions in preparation for COP30 in Brazil.”
Luiz Inácio Lula da SilvaPresident of Brazil

It’s good to know our taxes are being so wisely spent!
Meanwhile the head of OFCOM, Melanie Dawes, is still a Member of the WEF’s Global Coalition for Digital Safety, tasked with suppressing “disinformation”:
