The impact of information disorder on deliberative process in the context of climate change

Resumen

Deliberative process in the public sphere is negatively influenced by information disorder. To demonstrate this statement, a systematic review of the scientific literature on information disorder in the context of climate change was conducted, following the PRISMA verification method (Page et al., 2021). At the end of the process, we obtained 32 scientific articles published in 2022 and 2023 that address information disorder and climate change. The studies were analyzed considering the Habermasian approach to deliberation and the public sphere. Our research question is: how does information disorder affect deliberative processes in the public sphere, especially in issues related to climate change? The results suggest that the disinformation landscape leads to cognitive distortions and misguided decisions, contributing to the fragility of opinions and debates in the public sphere.
