Abstract | Science and technology centers continue to emerge as hubs for building climate change and resiliency literacy in communities around the United States. What's less clear, however, is how these institutions foster and sustain climate action based on this acquired literacy. The Science Museum of Virginia developed, delivered, and evaluated climate science and resiliency-themed programming over a three year period, connecting with audiences from "K to grey." Hyper-localization of climate change, accomplished by leading a small-scale community-based participatory research campaign (also known as "citizen science") to assess the City of Richmond's urban heat island effect, improved audience literacy and recall of adaptation and resilience solutions. When further nested within curriculum aligned with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Steps to Resilience Framework, hyper-localization produced additional learning and behavioral outcomes that bridged the gap from literacy to action. We posit that our model can inspire similar adaptation and resilience action-oriented programs in urban areas around the country.
