We are in a time of rapid climate change. Though we have developed policies such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, and we have made substantial progress on the use of renewable energy, atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase. Therefore, the evidence suggests we will not disrupt the observed climate trends in the foreseeable future.
For the past decade, Dr. Rood has been part of a team of social scientists, climatologists, and practitioners focused on the usability of climate knowledge. From this work, we have developed models of engagement to advance usability. Successful use of climate knowledge, often, relies on multi-constituency problem solving with climatologists working interactively to develop meaningful fits between climate data and knowledge and the practitioner’s needs.
This talk highlights the framing of the challenges of climate change and the behavioral changes that will be required to allow us to navigate through those changes.
