The Climate Change Communication Award was initiated by IAMCR in 2015 to support climate communication research. Until 2022 it was offered in collaboration with the International Environmental Communication Association (IECA), with the aim of encouraging a wide range of researchers to think creatively about new research approaches for climate change communication.
From 2023 until 2025, the award will be offered annually to three papers that develop and explore innovative approaches to climate change communication.
The award helps IAMCR meet one of the greening mandates adopted by the 2012 General Assembly in Durban - to contribute our expertise to addressing climate crises.
The Climate Communication award is open to all IAMCR members from all career stages.
