We conduct research at the intersection of AI, social science, and climate communications to support climate action.
Scientists agree that the Earth is warming, and human activity is the principal cause. People around the world know about climate change, care about the issue, and want to see climate action. Yet, the scale and pace of action is still far behind what is required to tackle the severity of climate impacts.
The Centre for Climate Communication & Data Science’s (C3DS) research aims to improve strategic communications to deliver meaningful action on climate change. We work with a diverse community of stakeholders — from civil society, media, government, and academia — to monitor, evaluate, and analyse the ways in which the modern information environment promotes or hinders comprehensive climate action. We aim to not only produce high quality and impactful research, but to build a community practice at the interface between communication and data science. All our work, moreover, is designed to align with best practices in equity, diversity, inclusion, environmental responsibility, and sustainability.
C3DS conducts peer-reviewed research across a range of topics, from the role of climate visuals in shaping media discourse to developing novel AI-based tools for studying climate communication. Our work has been published in leading journals such as Nature Climate Change, Climatic Change, Communications Earth & Environment, Environmental Communication, and Global Environmental Change, among others.
