Program Summary: This briefing explored public perceptions of climate change, scientific understanding, and the current political landscape. Our goal was to identify areas where these three perspectives reinforce each other and where they diverge in order to: 1) better understand the challenges and opportunities policy-makers face, 2) identify remaining needs that, if met, could help society most effectively manage risks, and 3) explore opportunities to improve communication among policy-makers, scientists, and the public.

Presented in partnership with: The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the American Statistical Association (ASA)
