The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Jessica Eise, an assistant professor of social and environmental challenges in the UTSA Department of Communication, $425,000 for her project to explore how to create enduring change in environmental public behavior to support actions that will effectively address climate change and its impacts on society.
Despite four decades of climate change communication, the world has yet to see adequate public action and policymaker support to substantively address the challenge.
Eise’s findings will empower policymakers, business leaders and other relevant leaders and stakeholders to make more informed decisions on how to encourage climate action.
