An award has been made to George Mason University to establish a Phase I Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) in collaboration with the American Meteorological Society, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, American Geophysical Union, American Association of State Climatologists, and Climate Central. The overall goal of the CCEP Phase I project is to establish a coordinated national network of regionally- or thematically-based partnerships devoted to increasing the adoption of effective, high quality educational programs and resources related to the science of climate change and its impacts. This project will focus on establishing a national network of on-air broadcast meteorologists, climate scientists, university research programs, and key climate and weather science organizations, to engage, train, and empower local broadcast meteorologists to educate and inform the American public about climate. The specific goals include (1) identifying the resources, training and other forms of support that will enable weathercasters to incorporate relevant information about climate change into their broadcasts; (2) identifying, among those weathercasters still undecided about the reality of anthropogenic climate change, (a) the nature of their indecisions, and (b) opportunities to help them reach a conclusion consistent with scientific consensus; (3) developing a prototype conflict analysis and resolution process between weathercasters who reject the scientific consensus and those who accept it so as to (a) understand their differences and the patterns of interactions and (b) develop frameworks that mediate their concerns; (4) developing linkages with existing climate- and weather-related citizen science programs to enable weathercasters to involve their viewers in climate and weather science; (5) identifying curriculum and curriculum development needs for teaching climate science to undergraduate meteorology students and certificate candidates; and (6) designing a five-year implementation plan that (a) leverages the accomplishments of objectives 1-5 into an initiative that can achieve our goal and (b) is financially sustainable.

乔治梅森大学与美国气象学会、国家海洋大气管理局、美国地球物理联合会、美国国家气候学家协会和气候中心合作，建立了第一阶段气候变化教育伙伴关系。CCEP第一阶段项目的总体目标是建立一个协调的区域或主题合作伙伴关系的国家网络，致力于增加采用与气候变化及其影响科学相关的有效，高质量的教育计划和资源。该项目的重点是建立一个由广播气象学家、气候科学家、大学研究项目和主要气候和天气科学组织组成的全国网络，以吸引、培训和授权当地广播气象学家教育和告知美国公众气候信息。具体目标包括：（1）确定资源、培训和其他形式的支持，使天气预报员能够将有关气候变化的信息纳入其广播;（2）在那些对人为气候变化的现实情况仍未作出决定的天气预报员中，确定（a）他们犹豫不决的性质，以及（B）帮助他们达成符合科学共识的结论的机会;（3）在拒绝科学共识的气象预报员和接受科学共识的气象预报员之间制定一个原型冲突分析和解决程序，以便（a）了解他们的差异和互动模式，（B）制定调解他们关切的框架;（4）发展与现有气候和天气的联系，相关的公民科学计划，使天气预报员能够让他们的观众参与气候和天气科学;（5）确定向本科气象学学生和证书候选人教授气候科学的课程和课程开发需求;以及（6）设计一个五年期实施计划，该计划（a）将目标1-5的成就转化为可以实现我们目标的举措，（B）在财务上可持续。有关此项目的更多信息，请访问http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp? pims_id=503465，或联系PI。
