Share Your Climate Story

You may find the following document helpful: How to Plan, Record, and Share your Climate Story
Click here to share a climate story interview instead of your own story.

1) Plan Your Climate Story

There is no one right way to tell your climate story. However, the most successful stories weave personal experiences into the larger issue of our changing climate. Consider listening to some recorded climate stories to help you plan yours. To prepare an audio or video climate story, you may choose to write out your story word-for-word (about 300-350 words) or brainstorm ideas and take notes. You may find that responding to the following prompts helps you plan your story:
  • What is your name and where do you live? What in your local environment or community is special to you?
  • How does climate change threaten people and places that you care about?
  • ​Describe the moment when you realized that climate change was affecting your life. How did you feel?
  • Describe your emotional responses to climate change as you think about yourself, your family, and your community.
  • ​​Describe your vision for your community and your conviction to contribute to a positive way forward through the climate crisis.​

2) Record your Climate Story

Climate Stories Project publishes recorded audio and video stories and interviews. You can record your climate story directly to your computer, to a smartphone, or other digital recording device. Find a quiet space and make sure to test recording levels and sound quality first. When you record your climate story, aim for between 1 to 3 minutes in length (about 300-350 words written). Before uploading your story (below), please listen to your recorded climate story to make sure it is recorded at a proper volume and is intelligible.

​Audio recording tips can be found here: Tips for High-Quality Audio Recording
