The increasing spread of misinformation has become a significant challenge to the implementation and public reception of EU policies, particularly in climate-related areas. This policy study explores the intersection of misinformation and policy communication, focusing on the Common Agricultural Policy.
The study aims to investigate how misinformation shapes public perceptions and resistance to climate policies and to develop strategic recommendations for more effective policy communication. Utilising case study analysis, the research will provide actionable insights for EU policymakers.
