During the winter quarter of 2013, students in two sections of PWR 2 "Communicating Science and the Environment," taught by Carolyn Ross, collaborated with the Stanford Woods Institute's Leopold Leadership Program and Governor Jerry Brown's Office of Planning and Research to produce a set of 13 videos about rapid global environmental change. The goal of the "Climate Changers" series, the idea for which originated with Governor Brown, is to inform public audiences about cutting-edge climate change research and to help turn policy discussions toward solutions. Students interviewed Leopold Leadership Fellows, prominent scientists whose research relates to global change in many specific ways, then created two-minute videos that convey powerful, constructive messages about how individuals and policy makers alike might most effectively avert some of the worst effects of climate change and adapt to those that are already underway. This video series is posted on the California Office of Planning and Research's and Leopold Leadership Program's web sites.
