Abstract
Accurate information is necessary for addressing the many problems found in an increasingly complex world. Public managers are expected to embrace the evidence-based practice of emphasizing the role of scientific information in the decision making process. Nowhere should this be truer than in complex issue domains, like climate change. With a focus on the barriers to the use of scientific knowledge (cognitive influences, situational/organizational contexts, and the nature of scientific information), this project uses a survey of local, state, and regional-national agencies to examine the use of scientific information in climate change policy. This project presents a clearer picture of the conditions that aid an individual to overcome the barriers to the use of climate change information.
