Far-right conspiracy theorists have claimed that the UN’s Agenda 2030 for sustainable development is a secret plan for a new world order that will control all our lives. Here we briefly outline Agenda 2030, examine the far-right’s myths, and outline genuine critiques of Agenda 2030.

We read ‘The Light’ so you don’t have to: Issue 39
We plan to produce summaries looking at each issue of The Light. Below we look at Issue 39, which continues to promote false claims on climate – as we have we have written about previously.
Yet more misinformation on climate in “The Light”
When Issue 35 of “The Light” says on its front page that the climate crisis is “non-existent” one has to wonder which planet they are living on?
Fact-checking the June 2023 front page of “The Light”
“It was a real shock to find that they had tried to trick me. And they had also lied” – Andy Williams picked up the June issue of “The Light” and looked into their front page story.

Consistent denial of climate change in The Light
Climate change denial has featured in almost every single issue of The Light. Other than the pandemic, it is probably the most common theme. The Light does not discuss the existing harms of extreme temperatures, droughts, floods, or sea-level rise. Instead, it repeatedly asserts that climate change is a “hoax”, a “con”, a “scam”. We think this is important. Action is urgently needed – causing delay by spreading misinformation or undermining interest in developing solutions is harmful, indeed – arguably – complicity in genocide. This is an issue of justice as well as an environmental issue. The communities on the frontline of fighting climate change are often the same who have resisted centuries of colonialism, chattel enslavement and white supremacy, and who continue to fight against the ecocide of fossil fuel companies.
