Nominations are now being accepted for the 2016//IAMCR /Climate Change

Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) and awarded in
collaboration with the International Environmental Communication
Association <https://theieca.org/> (IECA), the US$1,000 award seeks to

      About the Award

IAMCR launched its /Climate Communication Research Awards/, the first of
their kind, in 2014. There are two categories, awarded in alternate
years: one for new research projects: /New Directions for Climate
Communication Research Fellowship/ (to be awarded biannually from 2015);
and one honouring influential work: Climate Communication Research in
Action (to be awarded biannually from 2016).

The award is part of IAMCR's policy to green its activities, receiving
seed funding from a 2014 IAMCR Committee or Task Force Project Grant.
IECA joined the initiative in 2015.Â

More information about the awards can be found here

      Criteria
