The need for creative, out-of-the-box thinking on climate change communication and messaging, especially with scholarly engagement from disciplines beyond the climate sciences and with attention to empirical evaluation, has never been stronger. Spearheaded by Professor of Environmental Sciences and Policy at Duke University and returning ITP Grant Partner Nicole Heller, this project will bring together a group of scholars and practitioners predominately from the Duke University community in neurobiology, behavioral economics, climate and earth science, and the arts. They will explore experimental understanding to date and possible new research and education avenues at the intersection of art, cognition and climate science.
