Abstract: We report on initial results of a survey of the global planetarium community launched in June 2024 to learn more about how planetariums communicate climate change and environmental topics -- such as sustainability, biodiversity loss, and community resilience -- and what support they need to do so. This survey is a collaboration of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Astronomers for Planet Earth, the California Academy of Sciences, the International Planetarium Society, and Associated Universities, Inc.
