Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL2-2026-01-DEMOCRACY-08 funds research on safeguarding elections in the digital age: disinformation and FIMI, AI-powered campaigns, transparent political advertising, and platform accountability. EUR 12 million, three projects, deadline 23 September 2026.

This 2025 preprint from Costello, Pennycook, and Rand asks a sharper question than their original Science study: is it the facts, or the AI, doing the persuading? Across two experiments (N = 2,348) and eight variations, removing persuasive framing barely mattered; removing the facts broke the effect.

MSCI's website hosts a PDF of Verdantix's Green Quadrant report on climate financial data and analytics providers — but the version MSCI distributes contains only MSCI's own vendor profile, not the other nine providers assessed. Useful for its evaluation criteria, not for independent comparison.

There is no global crisis of trust in science — but there is a real, well-documented gap in who feels invited into it. We think closing that gap, building science-aware societies and citizen scientists, is the logical next step after the climate-communication lesson.

Under the theme 'AI as a Controversial Force for Sustainability', Green IO New York cut through corporate PR with workshops on datacenter injustice, grid-adaptive AI scheduling, and the real cost of a Claude prompt — as New York's climate disclosure law took shape.

The SEC's climate disclosure vote could redefine corporate climate accountability. Explore the potential shifts in reporting standards and their global implications.

Ten HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 topics under Cluster 2 (Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society), worth EUR 103 million in total, all opening 12 May 2026 and closing 23 September 2026. Budgets, action types, and a detailed overview page for each.

Climate transition risk metrics from different providers can look wildly different for the same firm — but Bingler, Colesanti Senni, and Monnin's peer-reviewed research finds a more nuanced picture: metrics converge notably more for firms that are clearly most or least exposed, and cluster by underlying methodology.
