建立在信息缺失模型基础上的气候变化传播努力，在很大程度上未能缩小科学界和公众对气候变化带来的风险的理解之间的差距。作为回应，有人提议进行模拟，使人们能够自己了解这个复杂而充满政治色彩的话题。在这里，我们评估了广泛使用的模拟世界气候的影响，它结合了社会和情感参与的角色扮演，并通过C-ROADS气候模拟模型对气候变化科学进行互动探索。参与者将扮演联合国气候谈判代表的角色，并面临达成符合国际气候目标的协议的挑战。他们的决定被输入C-ROADS，该系统提供有关预期全球气候影响的即时反馈，使他们能够在体验谈判的社会动态的同时了解气候变化。我们通过分析来自8个国家39次会议的bb2000名参与者的调查前后结果来评估世界气候的影响。我们发现在三个领域取得了统计上显著的进展：(i)对气候变化的原因、动态和影响的认识；（ii）情感投入，包括更强烈的紧迫感和希望感；（三）学习和做更多关于气候变化的事情的愿望。与赤字模型相反，紧迫感的增加与参与者学习更多知识的愿望和行动意愿的增加有关，而气候知识的增加则与此无关。反对政府监管自由市场的美国参与者的收益同样强劲——这种政治意识形态一直与美国否认气候变化联系在一起——这表明模拟有可能跨越政治分歧。研究结果表明，《世界气候》提供了一种气候变化沟通工具，使人们能够自己学习和感受，这些共同具有激发科学行动的潜力。
Climate change communication efforts grounded in the information deficit model have largely failed to close the gap between scientific and public understanding of the risks posed by climate change. In response, simulations have been proposed to enable people to learn for themselves about this complex and politically charged topic. Here we assess the impact of a widely-used simulation, World Climate, which combines a socially and emotionally engaging role-play with interactive exploration of climate change science through the C-ROADS climate simulation model. Participants take on the roles of delegates to the UN climate negotiations and are challenged to create an agreement that meets international climate goals. Their decisions are entered into C-ROADS, which provides immediate feedback about expected global climate impacts, enabling them to learn about climate change while experiencing the social dynamics of negotiations. We assess the impact of World Climate by analyzing pre- and post-survey results from >2,000 participants in 39 sessions in eight nations. We find statistically significant gains in three areas: (i) knowledge of climate change causes, dynamics and impacts; (ii) affective engagement including greater feelings of urgency and hope; and (iii) a desire to learn and do more about climate change. Contrary to the deficit model, gains in urgency were associated with gains in participants’ desire to learn more and intent to act, while gains in climate knowledge were not. Gains were just as strong among American participants who oppose government regulation of free markets–a political ideology that has been linked to climate change denial in the US–suggesting the simulation’s potential to reach across political divides. The results indicate that World Climate offers a climate change communication tool that enables people to learn and feel for themselves, which together have the potential to motivate action informed by science.
