Climate Stories NC captures the stories of North Carolininans – farmers, beekeepers, fishermen, hunters, birders, apple growers, poets and others – whose lives have been affected by changes in the climate. Our short, award-winning documentaries are online at ClimateStoriesNC.org
Sponsored by the UNC Institute for the Environment, Climate Stories NC documents real people talking about real proble
ms. All participants volunteer to share their experiences, and stories are filmed or photographed on-site. A Personal Approach
Climate Stories NC represents a new approach to climate change outreach. From droughts to floods, record highs to record lows, Climate Stories NC is there to document how changes in the climate affect North Carolinians’ lives and livelihoods. Example stories include observations about fish off the coast of NC migrating north for cooler waters, waterfowl flying south later each winter or not at all, and floods destroying pastureland for grass-fed hogs. Climate Stories NC creates…
* Increased awareness about the indicators and impacts of climate change in NC
* An outlet for North Carolinians who are facing inexplicable or unprecedented changes
* Enhanced understanding by addressing common misconceptions about climate change
* Bigger impact through distribution on a variety of social media platforms
* Greater visibility as UNC-Chapel Hill demonstrates its commitment to community engagement and outreach
Climate Stories NC is funded by the Z. To get involved, please contact us.
