CCEP-I: Climate Science Meets Social Psychology and Strategic Communications: Applying proven learning and communications strategies to climate literacy in the San Diego Region.

已授予圣地亚哥大学与加州州立大学圣马科斯分校、圣地亚哥基金会、史蒂夫·亚历山大小组和斯克里普斯海洋研究所合作建立第一阶段气候变化教育伙伴关系(CCEP)。CCEP第一阶段项目的总体目标是建立一个区域或主题伙伴关系的协调全国网络，致力于更多地采用与气候变化科学及其影响有关的有效、高质量的教育方案和资源。该项目将集中于涉及？关键影响因素？(思想和意见领袖、潮流引领者)，以提高圣地亚哥地区非K-16人口对气候科学、缓解和适应问题的认识。该项目面向不同的受众，包括代表18个城市和圣地亚哥县的地方民选官员、西班牙裔/拉丁裔社区、房地产开发社区、基于信仰的社区和部落社区。具体目标包括：(1)创建一个创新团队，将气候科学家、教育心理学家、正式和非正式教育工作者、私营部门传播专业人员以及政策专家结合在一起，以制定和实施战略教育框架；(2)通过调查、一系列创新研讨会和知识收集会议，利用行动研究框架来评估当前公众对气候变化的舆论和理解；以及(3)开发令人信服的信息和方法，以教育目标受众了解可能影响短期和长期行为的气候变化科学，而不规定这种行为应该是什么。在该项目结束时，私营部门负责人期望：(1)制定一项全面的战略交流和教育计划，以提高圣地亚哥地区的气候科学、缓解行为和适应意识，重点是正规的K-16环境以外的受众；(2)根据教育心理学和其他学习科学的最新研究，制定战略和交流方法，对公众群体进行关于气候科学的教育；(3)建立一个与气候有关的信息、来源和活动的网络门户；(4)收集关于区域对气候相关问题的认识和态度的详细民意数据；(5)开发一系列的交流方法和信息，以提高教育实践的质量；以及，(6)使用行动研究框架，建立一个由30-50人组成的不同的小组。以及一个区域咨询委员会，与项目团队合作。有关该项目的更多信息，请访问http://www.sandiego.edu/ccep或联系国际组织，米歇尔·A·布德里亚斯博士，电子邮件：bum@sandiego.edu

An award has been made to the University of San Diego to establish a Phase I Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) in collaboration with California State University San Marcos, The San Diego Foundation, the Steve Alexander Group, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. 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 involving ?Key Influentials? (thought and opinion leaders, trend-setters) to increase awareness of climate science, mitigation, and adaptation issues among the non K-16 population in the San Diego region. The project targets a diverse audience, including local elected officials representing 18 cities and the County of San Diego, the Hispanic/Latino community, the real estate development community, faith-based communities, and tribal communities. The specific goals include: (1) creating an innovative team that combines climate scientists, education psychologists, formal and informal educators, private-sector communication professionals, and policy experts to develop and implement a strategic educational framework; (2) using an action research framework to assess current public opinion and understanding about climate change through surveys, a series of innovative workshops, and knowledge gathering sessions; and (3) developing compelling messages and methods to educate target audiences about climate change science that could impact short- and long-term behavior, without prescribing what that behavior should be. By the end of this project, the PIs expect to: (1) develop a comprehensive strategic communications and education plan to increase climate science, mitigation behaviors, and adaptation awareness in the San Diego region, with particular emphasis on the audiences outside the formal K-16 environment; (2) develop strategies and communication methods based on the latest research from educational psychology and other learning sciences to educate groups within the general public about climate science; (3) develop a web-based portal of climate related information, sources, and activities available in the region; (4) gather detailed public opinion data on regional awareness and attitudes of climate related issues; (5) develop a range of communication methods and messages to improve quality of education practices; and, (6) using an action research framework, establish of a diverse group of 30-50 ?Key Influentials? and a regional advisory board to work with the project team.
