On October 27, 2026, QuotaClimat became the first non-profit organization focused on climate information to sign the Code of Conduct on Disinformation under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). This integration aims to enhance the fight against climate disinformation, particularly during extreme weather events. The Code, originally established in 2018 and strengthened in 2022, includes commitments from major digital platforms to combat misleading content. QuotaClimat will contribute its expertise through plenary sessions and working groups focused on monitoring and rapid response. The move reflects a shift in regulatory approaches to disinformation, particularly in thematic areas like climate change, where misinformation spikes during crises. This participation is seen as a critical step in recognizing climate disinformation as a systemic risk under the DSA.
