| Abstract | We present a systematic review of peer-reviewed research into ways to mitigate the spread of manipulative information about climate change on social media (n = 38). Such information may include disinformation, harmful influence campaigns, or the unintentional spread of misleading information. We find that the commonly recommended approaches to addressing manipulation of climate change belief include corrective information sharing and education campaigns targeting media literacy. However, most of the relevant research fails to test the approaches and interventions it proposes. We locate research gaps that include a lack of attention to the large commercial and political entities involved in generating and disseminating manipulation; video- and image-focused platforms; and the computational methods used to collect and analyze data. Evidence drawn from many studies demonstrates an emerging consensus about the policies required to resist climate change manipulation. |
