Abstract:

While international cooperation and the exchange of information between nations is the essence of contemporary diplomacy, climate diplomacy facilitates dialogue on various topics related to climate change and the environment. A significant part of the communication on this topic is based on digital technology, therefore a number of cyber threats can create wide-ranging problems between partners that can culminate in armed conflicts. At the level of dialogue partners, collaborative efforts to share best practices, cyber threat intelligence and cybersecurity capacity building initiatives will strengthen the global framework for international cooperation and climate diplomacy. The research proposed in this article aims to establish a conceptual framework within which international collaborative efforts can enhance collective resilience against cyber threats targeting information flows for digital climate diplomacy. Additionally, it is believed that promoting cyber literacy through the media can help educate the public on critical thinking, fact-checking, and skill-building to combat the spread of misinformation and disinformation about climate change.
