CHALLENGE
The 8th #FakeHunter Challenge – Energy and Climate takes place on 23-25 November 2023.
Every day we are exposed to risks connected with false and manipulated content about military, political and economic operations and events, and their consequences. This is of particular importance today, when we are witnessing Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and other global turbulences. The sheer scale of infectiousness of fake news intended to mislead society, incite negative and destructive attitudes, create and foster divisions, spread fear and panic, and destroy social trust can be linked to that of a virus.
That’s why we want to fight disinformation! Join the Challenge! Together we can have more impact on the things other people read.

Competition topic
„Energy and Climate"
The leading motives of the 8th #FakeHunter Challenge are energy and climate, highlighting concentration and increased attention in the face of fake news proliferation, active fight with disinformation in the energy, fuel, renewable and alternative energy sources domains, with all their economic, social, political and security aspects, referring to both the state and citizens, as well as a wide range of issues connected with climate change, global warming, weather phenomena, and all sorts of reports on the occurrences and processes reflecting the actual or alleged consequences of greenhouse gas emissions.
