Taking into account the technological advances that allow the rapid and uncontrolled dissemination of news and information of the most diverse types, this article seeks to analyze how the phenomenon of fake news influences the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 13 – climate action. In addition, it investigates how the principle of fraternity, within the Brazilian legal-social context, is an instrument capable of guiding and implementing the human right to a healthy environment and, therefore, the SDG 13. From this, a research based on the quantitative method was developed, using a deductive and descriptive-argumentative approach, elaborated from bibliographic research, to conclude that, currently, the pecuniary and ideological factors act as great motivators for the dissemination of fake news. and that, for this reason, the triggering of fake news is a major obstacle to the achievement of SDG 13. Thus, investments are needed - both by the State and civil society - in education and awareness of the population, to foster the sense of collectivity and reciprocal solidarity, typical of a fraternal society.
