Getting facts on Facebook around climate change and actionable steps for daily living to tackle the climate crises has become easier as the company has just rolled out its Climate Science Information Centre for sub-Saharan Africa, starting with South Africa and Nigeria. Facebook says this latest launch is part of its commitment to connecting people to accurate, expert advice and information about global developments that affect their lives.



The Centre, available now in 16 countries aims to connect people on Facebook with resources from the world’s leading climate change organisations.



Modelled on the Facebook COVID-19 Information Centre – which has so far, directed more than two billion people to information from health authorities – the Climate Science Information Centre, according to the organisation.



The CSIC is also constantly improved and now includes a section that features facts that debunk common climate myths – including facts such as how the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere harms the earth’s plant life and polar bear populations are declining because of global warming.





Facebook is working with climate experts from the George Mason University, the Yale Programme on Climate Change Communication, and the University of Cambridge to debunk the myths with current and specific facts. This means that Facebook will begin labeling posts about climate change with a banner which directs people to its information page on climate change.



“We can only address climate change if we all work together on a global scale. We are taking important steps to reduce our emissions and arm our global community with science-based information to make informed decisions and tools to take action. We hope with these efforts that we can continue helping to inspire real action,” says Kojo Boakye, Director of Public Policy, Africa.



Beyond the center, Facebook will also be directing people to the UN Environment Programme when they search about climate change in regions where the Climate Science Information Centre isn’t yet available. The United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom were the first to get centers.

the government was "committed to providing access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines" and had agreed to indemnify the drug companies due to "the need to appropriately share risks associated with achieving early access to a successful vaccine."

Another reason to avoid the vaccine
