We’re seeing a widespread assault on scientific truth and innovation in environmental policy, right at the very moment we face a climate and ecological emergency. At WePlanet our mission is to combat misinformation and defend the integrity of science, whether it’s in climate, food or ecology. We are committed to fighting both doomerism that paralyzes action and denial that rejects the urgency of the planet’s ecological crisis.
