National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation
NNOCCI is a network of individuals and organizations in formal and informal education, the social sciences, climate sciences, and public policy. We are currently working in 184 institutions in 38 states. We share a commitment to using evidenced-based communications methods and providing the social and emotional support needed to engage as climate communicators. By working together we develop the knowledge, techniques, community, and confidence needed to empower our audiences to act on climate change. And by speaking about climate change consistently across the country we are changing public discourse to be positive, civic-minded, and solutions-focused.
NNOCCI colleagues continue to experiment, evaluate, and share successes from our work with each other. We learn about the latest findings in climate science and oceanography and how to apply these to our own interpretive contexts at our institutions. In addition we build trust and lasting bonds among community members across the country who share an interest in developing effective ways to engage audiences in learning about and taking action on climate and ocean change.
Community
NNOCCI Members have access to a community of peers to discuss and learn about climate change communication.
