Climate Change Storytelling

It’s Time to Talk Climate

Climate change is complicated and can often feel far removed from our lives. Sharing our personal stories of climate change can place facts into context and can help us understand how it is relevant to our lives.

 
What Is YEA

We all have a climate story to tell.

A climate story is a personal account of climate change from your experience and observations, ranging from despair to hope, from loss to resolve. It is descriptive and makes an emotional connection to climate change.

While climate stories are individual perspectives, it is our collective stories that have the power to shift the narrative. Sharing climate stories personalizes climate change in a way that connects our communities rather than dividing us from one another. Listening, compassion, and personal storytelling are tools that can connect us and nurture a common ground where true change can begin.

A collage of three square photos layered on top of each other show people engaging in climate change communication. The first photo has four students stand together, smiling at the camera, with a wall of windows behind them. The second photo shows a mural of a black-haired woman with a white hankerchief tied around her head. She is wearing a yellow shirt and is pulling on the hankerchief to tie it tighter around her chin. The third photo has two people in red jackets standing below an artist-made rainbow sculpture.
