The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC) is a research center within the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University that conducts scientific research on public climate change knowledge, attitudes, policy preferences, and behavior at the global, national, and local scales. It grew out of a conference held in Aspen, Colorado in 2005.[1]

General

As of 2017 the program was led by Anthony Leiserowitz, and YPCCC's sub-program, Yale Climate Connections, put out a daily 90 second audio program carried by around 350 radio stations, articles in the media, and a series of videos published monthly, and provided training to help television weather presenters and reporters discuss climate change.[2]

In 2017 the program was given a "Friend of the Planet" award by the National Center for Science Education in 2017.[3] In 2018, Leiserowitz and YPCCC researchers received the Warren J. Mitofsky Innovators Award, given by the American Association for Public Opinion Research. The award recognized "a new statistical method to downscale national public opinion estimates using multiple regression and post stratification (MPR) survey data collection methodology."[4]
