Communicating Climate Change is intended to provide insights from social science to those who are on the front lines communicating with the public about climate: meteorologists, science journalists, government agency personnel, university outreach specialists, and members of non-governmental organizations.

Producer Joe Cone is a long-time science communicator and award-winning writer and videographer who serves as assistant director of Oregon Sea Grant, a marine research, outreach, and education program based at Oregon State University. The program is part of a nationwide network of Sea Grant College Programs, organized under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to provide research, education, and public outreach to help people understand, responsibly use, and conserve ocean and coastal resources.
