For 20 years, ISD has delivered field-leading threat detection, analysis and real-world strategies to combat terrorism, extremism and authoritarianism - in all their ideological forms.

The spread of conspiracy theories about climate change threatens to erode trust in government institutions and undermine international responses to the climate emergency. Our analysis has also identified how foreign actors seek to exploit natural disasters to promote their own narratives, threatening relief efforts and harming communities exposed to the impacts of climate change. ISD works to support policymakers, civil society groups and others to combat false narratives about climate change.
