We are excited to share a new open-access publication in Nature Reviews Methods Primers, co-authored by EClim members Christian Huggel and Veruska Muccione:

📰 “Automated fact-checking of climate claims with large language models”
🔗 Read the paper

The paper introduces CLIMINATOR, a novel AI-powered framework designed to enhance fact-checking of climate-related claims. By integrating verified scientific sources into a structured debate format, this tool supports the fight against climate misinformation.

🔍 Why it matters:

• Misinformation about climate change can spread rapidly and influence public opinion.
• CLIMINATOR supports policymakers, journalists, and citizens by providing credible, traceable climate facts.
• The study demonstrates the potential of AI and large language models (LLMs) in strengthening science communication and evidence-based decision-making.

This interdisciplinary effort brings together experts from climate science, finance, and artificial intelligence, showcasing how collaboration can drive innovation for climate action.
