What can be done to shift cultural attitudes on climate change to inspire action?

With ever increasing certainty, the scientific community agrees on the causes and likely consequences of global climate change, and on the scale of response needed to guard against its risks. The public, however, in the U.S. and globally, remains deeply divided on the causes and severity of the issue and the actions required. Efforts have too rarely inspired the public to understand the personal relevance of the issue and the kinds of actions they can take. This contest seeks proposals for efforts that will shift public perception and overcome individual and institutional barriers to understand the urgency of climate change risk and to take both immediate and long-term action.
