COMMUNICATION: THE ORGANIZATION COMMUNICATES FACTUAL INFORMATION TO HELP THE PUBLIC AND POLICYMAKERS MAKE SOUND CHOICES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. CLIMATE CENTRAL REACHES THE PUBLIC THROUGH WEB, PRINT, AND BROADCAST AT THE NATIONAL, LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS. THE CLIMATE MATTERS (CM) PROGRAM CONTINUED TO SUPPORT TV WEATHERCASTERS AND NEWSROOM JOURNALISTS THROUGH THE CLIMATE MATTERS PROGRAM. WEEKLY DISTRIBUTION OF ANALYSES, GRAPHICS, VIDEOS, AND OTHER TOOLS DESIGNED TO MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE CLEAR AND LOCALLY RELEVANT, REACHED MILLIONS OF VIEWERS ACROSS DEMOGRAPHIC LINES THROUGH THEIR LOCAL WEATHER AND NEWS CASTS. THE NETWORK OF USERS OF CLIMATE MATTERS CONTENT CONTINUED TO EXPAND IN 2020. THERE WAS AN ADDITION OF 173 METEOROLOGISTS AND 361 NEWSROOM JOURNALISTS TO THE PROGRAM. THIS BRINGS THE USER COMMUNITY TO 800+ METEOROLOGISTS AND 749 NEWSROOM JOURNALISTS. CLIMATE MATTERS RELEASES CONTINUED TO BE CUSTOMIZED TO MEET LOCAL MEDIA MARKET NEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, CLIMATE CENTRAL BEGAN DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW CONTENT DISTRIBUTION TOOL, REALTIME CLIMATE. THE TOOL IS INTENDED TO AUTOMATE THE IDENTIFICATION OF KEY EVENTS THAT DRIVE MEDIA DISTRIBUTION. FURTHER, THE TOOL WILL AUTOMATE SELECTION OF AND DISTRIBUTION OF PROGRAM CONTENT TO LOCAL MEDIA MARKETS. CONSISTENT WITH THE PAST, THE MATERIALS ARE MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE VIA THE CLIMATE CENTRAL WEB SITE. THE CLIMATE MATTERS PROGRAM TEAM CONTINUED TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND GUIDANCE TO USERS THROUGH WEBINARS, WORKSHOPS AND PARTICIPATION AT PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION MEETINGS.CLIMATE CENTRAL'S PARTNERSHIP JOURNALISM PROGRAM CONTINUED TO EXPAND, ISSUING SEVERAL TARGETED JOURNALISTIC RELEASES, ALIGNING WITH LOCAL JOURNALISTS DELIVERING DATA-DRIVEN FEATURES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3.1MProgram 2 [2020]
RESEARCH: CLIMATE CENTRAL SCIENTISTS PUBLISH PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH ON CLIMATE SCIENCE; ENERGY; IMPACTS SUCH AS SEA LEVEL RISE; CLIMATE ATTRIBUTION AND MORE. OUR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC BY ILLUMINATING THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS OF CLIMATE, USING PIONEERING ANALYSIS AND DATA VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES. OUR PROGRAM ON SEA LEVEL RISE AND ITS SUITE OF INTERACTIVE WEB-BASED TOOLS DEPICTING THREATS FROM SEA LEVEL RISE AND COASTAL FLOODING CONTINUE TO BE USED TO INFORM RISK ASSESSMENTS, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EFFORTS, COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES, AND POLICY ANALYSES. CLIMATE CENTRAL'S SEA LEVEL RISE SCIENTISTS PUBLISHED A NUMBER OF PAPERS ON:O HOW SEA LEVEL RISE AND COASTAL FLOODING THREATENS U.S. AFFORDABLE HOUSING (LEAD AUTHORS)O CLASSIFYING AND ASSESSING SEA LEVEL RISE RISK (CO-AUTHOR)O FUTURE FLOOD RISKS AND EXTREME SEA LEVEL METRICS (CO-AUTHORS)O COMPOSITION OF ANIMATED FLOOD SURFACES AND STREET-LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHS (LEAD AUTHORS) CLIMATE CENTRAL RELEASED A NEW ONLINE MAPPING INTERFACE THAT INCLUDES MULTIPLE SEA LEVEL RISE MAPS THAT ALLOW USERS TO EXPLORE COASTAL FLOOD RISK AND SEA LEVEL RISE PROJECTIONS BY YEAR FOR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, UNDER MULTIPLE POLLUTION SCENARIOS. USERS CAN EXPLORE HOW SEA LEVEL RISE THREATENS U.S. AFFORDABLE HOUSING, HOW DIFFERENT WARMING SCENARIOS AFFECT SEA LEVEL RISE, AND MORE. MAPS ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. CLIMATE CENTRAL TOOLS WERE USED BY MORE THAN 1 MILLION USERS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COASTAL STAKEHOLDERS DOWNLOADED MATERIALS FROM CLIMATE CENTRAL TOOLS.THE PROGRAM CONTINUED TO DEVELOP NEW WAYS TO VISUALLY COMMUNICATE THE THREAT THAT SEA LEVEL RISE AND FLOODING POSE TO STAKEHOLDERS. CLIMATE CENTRAL DELIVERED ITS COASTAL ELEVATION DATASET, COASTALDEM, TO 200+ ORGANIZATIONS OR INDIVIDUALS. CLIMATE CENTRAL'S ENTERPRISE PROGRAM, WHICH FOCUSES ON MARKETING AND LICENSING ORGANIZATIONAL TOOLS AND DATA TO DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS, DEVELOPED AND SOLD AN ADDITIONAL SEA LEVEL RISE LAYERS PRODUCT. OUTREACH AND EDUCATION CONTINUED TO BE A KEY COMPONENT OF DELIVERING THE SEA LEVEL RISE INFORMATION TO AUDIENCES MOST IMPACTED. CLIMATE CENTRAL CONTINUED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH NAACP TRAINING TEAMS, WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES IN NEED OR SUPPORT. STAFF FROM THE PROGRAM ON SEA LEVEL RISE PRESENTED AT 16 CONFERENCES/EVENTS TO OVER 1,000 ATTENDEES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.1MAttribution Science and Climate Fingerprints Program
ATTRIBUTION SCIENCE + CLIMATE FINGERPRINTS: THE ORGANIZATION PLAYED A LEAD ROLE IN TRANSFORMING THE PUBLIC NARRATIVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT SOME EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO CLIMATE CHANGE, A CLAIM VALIDATED BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES IN 2016. THIS PIONEERING RESEARCH IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW THE ORGANIZATION'S SCIENTISTS HELPED CHANGE THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CONVERSATION. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO ADVANCE SCIENCE THAT WILL ENABLE THE QUANTIFICATION OF CLIMATE FINGERPRINTS IN WORLDWIDE LOCAL WEATHER DAILY A TRUE GRAIL FOR CLIMATE COMMUNICATIONS. TO ACHIEVE THIS IMPACT, THE ATTRIBUTION SCIENCE + CLIMATE FINGERPRINTS PROGRAM DEVELOPS TOOLS TO HELP REVEAL HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS DISRUPTING OUR WORLD. ITS FIRST OPERATIONAL TOOL, THE CLIMATE SHIFT INDEX, PROVIDES DAILY ESTIMATES OF HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS IMPACTING AIR TEMPERATURE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3.5M
