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.

已向乔治·梅森大学（George Mason University）颁发了一项奖项，以与美国气象学会，国家海洋与大气管理局，美国地球物理联盟，美国国家气候学家协会和气候中心合作，建立了I期气候变化教育伙伴关系（CCEP）。 CCEP I阶段项目的总体目标是建立一个协调的国家或主题基于区域或主题的伙伴关系的国家网络，该网络致力于增加采用与气候变化科学及其影响的有效，高质量的教育计划和资源。该项目将着重于建立国家广播气象学家，气候科学家，大学研究计划以及关键气候和天气科学组织的国家网络，以吸引，培训和授权当地广播气象学家，以教育和告知美国公众有关气候的信息。具体目标包括（1）确定资源，培训和其他形式的支持，这些资源，培训和其他形式的支持将使WeatherCaster能够将有关气候变化的相关信息纳入其广播中； （2）确定在那些仍然不确定人为气候变化的现实的风化前者中，（a）其非确定性的本质，以及（b）帮助他们得出与科学共识一致的结论的机会； （3）在拒绝科学共识的风化前者和接受的原型冲突分析和解决过程之间，以（a）了解他们的差异和相互作用的模式，以及（b）开发调解他们的关注的框架； （4）与现有的气候和天气相关的公民科学计划建立联系，以使风化阶段能够参与其观众参与气候和天气科学； （5）确定课程和课程开发需求，以教授气候科学的本科生和证书候选人； （6）设计一项为期五年的实施计划，该计划（a）将目标1-5的成就纳入一个可以实现我们目标的计划，并且（b）在财务上是可持续的。可以通过访问http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsm.jsp?pims_id = 503465或与PI联系，可以获得有关此项目的更多信息。
