Communicating Climate Change
Twelve science centers, across the United States, using citizen science to investigate local indicators of climate change.
The Association of Science-Technology Center's Communicating Climate Change (C3) project supports partnerships between science centers and scientific research institutions to talk about climate change at 12 locations across the United States. Science centers facilitate citizen science projects to investigate locally meaningful indicators of climate change. See the list of science centers and citizen science projects below for more details on how these partnerships advance both climate science and climate literacy.
