The Yale Project on Climate Change Communication is an organization lobbying on behalf of taking action to avoid dangerous climate change that grew out of a conference held in Aspen, Colorado in 2005 by the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. According to its website, the Project does the following:

  • Conducts research on public climate knowledge, risk perceptions, decision-making and behavior;
  • Designs and tests new strategies to engage the public in climate science and solutions;
  • Empowers educators and communicators with the knowledge and tools to more effectively engage their audiences.[1]

One of its projects is the Yale Forum on Climate Change and the Media, which hosts a number of YouTube videos on its official channel. Peter Sinclair is responsible for some of these videos. The Forum also hosts a blog focused on global warming and other environmental issues.
