This X-Grant provides support to the Environmental Fellows Program – a program of YSE that aims to diversify the environmental philanthropic and nonprofit sectors by supporting the career aspirations of graduate students from traditionally underrepresented populations – and specifically, a 2023 Fellow's research assessment of the implementation of the Justice40 Initiative.

The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (the Program, housed within the Yale School of the Environment) is the leading institution investigating climate change public opinion and message testing. The Program conducts national public opinion surveys that try to understand American knowledge, attitudes, decision making, and behaviors that relate to climate change. The Program’s survey work is seminal to the field of climate change advocacy and helps inform key audiences within governments, business, advocacy, and the media in the United States and, increasingly, abroad. The Program also produces Climate Connections, a daily 90-second radio program on climate change that is broadcast, in English and Spanish, on nearly 400 radio stations nationwide, which allows tested messages to reach communities in a medium they trust. In addition to producing and disseminating public opinion and messaging research, the Program operates a fellowship that focuses on the intersectionality of climate change and social justice, and seeks to empower the thought leadership of underrepresented voices, especially those most affected by fossil fuels and climate change. This fellowship is part of the Program’s work to diversify and amplify the voices working to build public and political will for climate change action. This award supports all aspects of the program with flexible support.
