WACC joins the call for #UNFCCC #COP30 to take binding action to uphold information integrity on climate change. Without accurate, trustworthy information, at the local level, forget about mobilizing public support for climate policy.

The internet is a digital lifeline for much of the world. Last year there were 105+ internet shutdowns. This is censorship & it subverts democracy. Tech governance must outlaw such denial of #CommunicationRights.
