This report guides practitioners on communicating climate-linked migration, highlighting research gaps, biases and limited diversity. It emphasises critical engagement with academic literature, improved representation of affected communities, and the need for nuanced, interdisciplinary approaches to inform effective, ethical communication strategies.

Synthesises research on communicating environmental and sustainability science, highlighting a shift from one-way information to dialogue. Identifies challenges including political polarisation, trust, and misinformation, and emphasises values-based framing, narratives, and audience engagement as critical for effective public communication and future research priorities.

Guide outlines evidence-based strategies for communicating climate impacts through adaptation, emphasising values-led narratives, trusted messengers, and relatable imagery. It provides practical activities and case studies enabling community engagement on risks such as flooding, drought and heatwaves, encouraging locally relevant, action-oriented responses.

This guide outlines governance, internal controls and assurance readiness for sustainability reporting. It explains board, management and audit roles, extending financial reporting controls to sustainability data, and an annual cycle covering materiality, misstatement risk, control design, monitoring and external assurance under emerging standards

The report evaluates eight generative AI search tools and finds widespread problems in accurately citing news sources. Many systems fabricate or misattribute links, ignore publisher restrictions and provide confident but incorrect answers, raising concerns about information reliability, publisher traffic loss and the transparency of AI-generated search results.

This article explains how the concept of materiality applies in AASB S2 climate disclosures and why it is often misunderstood. It distinguishes between material information, climate risks, emissions reporting, and ESG double materiality assessments, offering practical guidance for preparing compliant climate reports.

PAS 7342:2025 sets out specifications for designing, implementing, monitoring and communicating sustainability attributes of sustainable investment funds. It provides requirements to support clear objectives, governance, evidence, disclosures and labelling, aiming to reduce greenwashing and improve consistency in fund communication.

The study analyses 1,041 corporate emissions targets ending in 2020, finding limited accountability. Thirty-one per cent of targets disappeared and 9% failed, with minimal disclosure, media attention or market penalties. By contrast, target announcements improved media sentiment and ESG scores, raising concerns for future climate targets.

Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism is a global research centre at University of Oxford examining the future of news and journalism. It publishes influential reports, data, and analysis on media trust, digital news consumption, and industry trends, supporting journalists, researchers, and policymakers worldwide through evidence-based academic research programmes.

The report analyses climate disclosures by investor-owned carbon majors, finding widespread misuse of climate scenarios to claim Paris alignment. Common issues include outdated scenarios, opaque assumptions and misleading aggregation, which obscure transition risks and may misinform investor decision-making.

Systematic review of 300 studies (2015-2025) finds coordinated misinformation and greenwashing by corporate, political, and media actors undermine climate science, eroding trust and delaying policy. Research is Global North–centric. Evidence supports regulation, litigation, coalitions, and education to strengthen information integrity.

International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) is an independent, non-profit scientific organisation based in Switzerland providing policymakers, industry and civil society with actionable scientific assessments on threats to the global information environment, including disinformation, AI bias and algorithmic manipulation. Hundreds of researchers contribute to IPIE’s reports.

The study finds retail investors substantially overestimate green funds’ climate impact compared with academic experts, mainly due to limited understanding of financial-market transmission. Providing expert information lowers investors’ impact beliefs and willingness to pay, indicating misaligned expectations may drive capital towards products with limited real-world emissions effects.

This conceptual paper examines corporate sustainability reporting, distinguishing investor-focused sustainability-related financial disclosure from broader impact reporting. It argues investor interests are imperfectly aligned with societal goals and concludes that complementary financial and impact reporting standards are needed to support accountability, capital allocation and sustainability transition.

This study analyses 1,659 FTSE 350 observations to explore the link between ESG performance and organisational narcissistic rhetoric. Findings indicate that high ESG performance correlates with increased self-promoting language, though greater board gender diversity mitigates this effect. Additionally, strong financial results are positively associated with narcissistic corporate narratives.

This month’s sustainable-finance roundup highlights faster transition momentum, rising physical risks and a tightening focus on accountability. COP30 reinforced expectations for stronger 2035 targets, while national actions underscored diverging paths toward decarbonisation. Markets continued shifting toward clean energy and resilience, and new science made climate harms more visible. With regulatory scrutiny and litigation increasing, transition credibility and real-economy resilience are becoming core drivers of financial risk and investment decisions.
