COMMUNICATION: THE ORGANIZATION COMMUNICATES FACTUAL INFORMATION TO HELP THE PUBLIC AND POLICYMAKERS MAKE SOUND CHOICES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. CLIMATE CENTRAL REACHES THE PUBLIC THROUGH WEB, PRINT, AND BROADCAST JOURNALISM AT THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL LEVELS.OUR CLIMATE MATTERS PROGRAM PROVIDES TV METEOROLOGISTS WITH A STEADY STREAM OF SCIENTIFICALLY GROUNDED CLIMATE CHANGE INFORMATION. THIS IS DONE BY DELIVERING WEEKLY CLIMATE CHANGE CONTENT TO TV WEATHERCASTERS THAT ARE IN THE PROGRAM AND BY ENLISTING LEADING CLIMATE MATTERS METEOROLOGISTS TO HELP IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND PROGRAM AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER MEMBERS, NEWSROOMS, NEW DIRECTORS AND OWNERSHIP GROUPS. WHAT BEGAN AS A SMALL PILOT PROGRAM IN 2011 IS NOW A FLOURISHING NETWORK OF 285+ METEOROLOGISTS IN MORE THAN 100 ENGLISH AND SPANISH-SPEAKING MARKETS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. OUR CLIMATE CONTENT IS DESIGNED TO MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS REAL AND LOCAL FOR PEOPLE, REACHES MILLIONS OF VIEWERS ACROSS DEMOGRAPHIC LINES. THIS PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT/EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR METEOROLOGISTS THROUGH WORKSHOPS, WEBINARS AND CONFERENCES, WHICH HELP THEM GROW THEIR SKILLS AS CLIMATE EDUCATORS. WE HAVE DEVELOPED TOOLS FOR METEOROLOGISTS TO USE AS THEY INTERACT WITH THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AT LOCAL FUNCTIONS, WHERE THEY OFTEN FIELD QUESTIONS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON PROVIDING SCIENCE-BASED ANALYSES AND HIGH-QUALITY CLIMATE COMMUNICATIONS TOOLS TO MEET THE EXPRESSED NEEDS OF INTERNATIONAL WEATHERCASTERS. CLIMATE CENTRAL'S WEBSITE COVERS CLIMATE THROUGH NEWS AND FEATURE STORIES, COLUMNS, BLOGS, PODCASTS, AND INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS AIMED AT SHOWING AMERICANS WHY CLIMATE CHANGE MATTERS AND HOW IT AFFECTS THEM PERSONALLY AND IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN 2015, THERE HAVE BEEN 850 REPUBLICATIONS OF OUR ORIGINAL REPORTING BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND 600 MENTIONS OF OUR WORK. OUR CONTENT HAS HELPED ATTRACT VISITORS TO CLIMATECENTRAL.ORG. TO DATE, THE SITE HAS RECEIVED 77 MILLION PAGE VIEWS OVERALL (AGAINST OUR 25M GOAL) AND 9.9 MILLION INDIVIDUAL VISITS. WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, WE INCREASED READERSHIP OF OUR CONTENT THROUGH TWITTER AND FACEBOOK (AND NEARLY TRIPLED THE NUMBER OF LIKES" OUR CLIMATE CONTENT RECEIVED IN 2014).2015 WAS ALSO THE FIRST YEAR WE PUBLISHED A LONG-FORM INVESTIGATIVE PIECE, ENTITLED "PULP FICTION". THIS PIECE WAS WRITTEN BY ONE OF OUR SENIOR SCIENCE WRITERS AND IS A THREE-PART MULTIMEDIA SERIES ON THE IMPACTS OF THE TRANSATLANTIC TRADE OF WOOD ENERGY.IN 2015, WE LAUNCHED WXSHIFT, A FIRST OF ITS KIND WEBSITE WHERE VISITORS CAN GO FOR THEIR LOCAL WEATHER REPORT AND LARGER CLIMATE TRENDS AND INTERESTING SCIENCE ARTICLES. WXSHIFT INTEGRATES REGIONAL CLIMATE TRENDS WITH LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS IN EVERY ZIP CODE ACROSS THE US.

RESEARCH: CLIMATE CENTRAL SCIENTISTS PUBLISH PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH ON CLIMATE SCIENCE; ENERGY; IMPACTS SUCH AS SEA LEVEL RISE; CLIMATE ATTRIBUTION AND MORE. OUR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC AND ILLUMINATE THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS OF CLIMATE, USING PIONEERING ANALYSIS AND DATA VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES. IN 2015, WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE IMPACTS AND PREPAREDNESS: STATES AT RISK. THE PROJECT, DESIGNED TO HELP STATE OFFICIALS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ASSESS CLIMATE-RELATED RISK, INCREASE PREPAREDNESS, AND CREATE NEW CLIMATE CONSTITUENCIES TO HELP DRIVE CHANGE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL WAS A MAJOR UNDERTAKING DRAWING ON OUR STAFF'S EXPERTIZE WORKING WITH MASSIVE DATASETS. WE FOUND THAT FLORIDA, TEXAS, AND CALIFORNIA ARE THE MOST AT-RISK STATES AND THAT ONLY A SMALL GROUP OF STATES-ALASKA, CALIFORNIA, CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, MARYLAND, NEW YORK, AND PENNSYLVANIA-HAVE TAKEN STRONG ACTION TO ASSESS FUTURE RISKS AND PREPARE FOR THEM. STATES ARE MORE PREPARED FOR COASTAL FLOODING THAN ANY OTHER CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT. (HALF OF ALL COASTAL STATES ARE TAKING STRONG ACTION). BUT STATES ARE LEAST PREPARED FOR EXTREME HEAT. (THOUGH HEAT WAVE DAYS ARE PROJECTED TO MORE THAN TRIPLE BY 2050 IN EACH OF THE LOWER 48 STATES, EXCEPT OREGON, ONLY 14 PERCENT ARE TAKING STRONG ACTION TO PREPARE.)WORKING IN CONCERT WITH OUR PARTNERS AT ICF AND GPG, WE DISSEMINATED OUR FINDINGS OF CLIMATE CHANGE RISK AND PREPAREDNESS IN LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL MEDIA USING ACCESSIBLE AND ENGAGING EXPLAINERS, INFO-GRAPHICS, CHARTS, PRESS RELEASES, A WEBSITE (WWW.STATESATRISK.ORG), AND OTHER TOOLS. WE ALSO BRIEFED POLICYMAKERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS; USED TRUSTED LOCAL MESSENGERS SUCH AS SCIENTISTS, THOUGHT LEADERS, TV METEOROLOGISTS, AND DECISION-MAKERS TO VALIDATE OUR MESSAGES; AND COORDINATED WITH NONPROFITS AND LOCAL, STATE, AND REGIONAL DECISION-MAKERS TO LEVERAGE OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPAND IMPACT.OUR GOAL THROUGH THE WORLD WEATHER ATTRIBUTION PROJECT IS TO CLOSE THIS INFORMATION GAP - AND MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE CLEAR AND ACTIONABLE IN A WAY THAT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE BEFORE.OUR PROJECT INVOLVES RIGOROUS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, DESIGNED FOR COMMUNICATION AND BACKED BY PEER-REVIEW. AS AN EXAMPLE, THIS FALL, WE RELEASED A PEER-REVIEWED ANALYSIS OF THE BRAZILIAN DROUGHT WITH OUR PROJECT PARTNERS AT OXFORD, KNMI, THE RED CROSS CLIMATE CENTRE, AND MELBOURNE. WHEN WE SET OUT TO DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO QUANTITATIVELY ATTRIBUTE AND COMMUNICATE CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL WEATHER EVENTS TO CLIMATE CHANGE, WE KNEW THAT SOME OF OUR ANALYSES WOULD SHOW THAT CLIMATE CHANGE PLAYED A ROLE AND SOME WOULD SHOW THAT GLOBAL WARMING PLAYED NO ROLE OR A LESSER ROLE THAN OTHER FACTORS. WE ALSO KNEW THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROGRAM IS STRENGTHENED BY RELEASING ALL OF OUR RESULTS - WHETHER WE FIND THE FINGERPRINT OF CLIMATE CHANGE OR NOT. THIS STUDY FOUND THAT GLOBAL WARMING WAS NOT A MAJOR FACTOR IN THAT EVENT. AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE ARE PEER-REVIEWING OUR METHODS, OUR TEAM IS WORKING TO "SOCIALIZE OR MAINSTREAM ATTRIBUTION SCIENCE WITH THE BROADER SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, THE MEDIA, AND POLICYMAKERS THROUGH BRIEFINGS, IN-PERSON MEETINGS, WORKSHOPS, AND CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS. SINCE OUR GRANT BEGAN, WE HAVE BRIEFED KEY MEMBERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY THROUGH A SERIES OF PRESENTATIONS ON WORLD WEATHER ATTRIBUTION AT THE OUR COMMON FUTURE CONFERENCE IN PARIS, THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTION, THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, AND THE AAAS IN WASHINGTON, DC. IN ORDER TO REACH THE BROADER SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, THE WWA TEAM HAS BRIEFED KEY MEMBERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY INCLUDING JOHN HOLDREN IN THE OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY; RALPH CICERONE AT THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES; RUSH HOLT AT THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ARTS AND SCIENCES; CHARLES GODFRAY AND TIM PALMER AT OXFORD; JANE LUBCHENCO AT OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY; BRIAN HOSKINS AT THE GRANTHAM INSTITUTE; KEVIN TRENBERTH AT THE NATIONAL COUNCIL ON ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH; MARTIN HOERLING AT NOAA; AND MANY OTHERSWE PRODUCED AND RELEASED SIX OTHER IN-DEPTH ANALYSES THIS YEAR. THESE INCLUDE: HOT YEARS, LONG ODDS (VIDEO); WINTER LOSES ITS COOL; WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS; WESTERN WILDFIRES; ALASKA WILDFIRES; AND DANGER DAYS. THESE REPORTS HAVE DRAWN MORE THAN TWO MILLION PAGES VIEWS AND RESULTED IN 800 MEDIA PICKUPS. IN ADDITION TO THESE REPORTS GEARED AT THE MEDIA, WE SUBMITTED FIVE STUDIES FOR PUBLICATION IN PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS.
