Description
In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, a need has arisen to rethink our way of working. As Disaster Risk Reduction and Mitigation is increasingly taking the spotlight so are education for Sustainable Development and the overarching framework of the SDGs. An important aspect that needs to be (re)considered to address future risks is the role education and life-long learning play.
In this article we will analyse the risks of fake news and disinformation and its effects on effective interventions in emergencies, specifically for the CTBT this will also look at the importance of factual information and the added value of its seismometer network in ensuring quick and up to date information.
