Tell your Climate Story

Everyone has a climate change story - Climate change is underway in every community on Earth, and you do not need to be a scientist or policy expert in order to share your climate story. You just need to care about the place you live and share your observations of the changes around you and how you are responding to them. Your stories will help give others a better understanding of how climate change is happening now and will inspire action to confront the climate crisis. Sharing your story might even be fun, as you build connections with other people and other places! 
​
We are excited to share your recorded audio or video climate story, or carry out an interview to record and share your story.

​We do not publish written stories, but the prompts below will help you craft your story. Consider listening to the already recorded
 climate stories to get some ideas.  If you'd like to submit a video story, please contact us.

2) Record your Climate Story

Writer and Professor Drew Lanham
Climate Stories Project publishes recorded audio and video stories. 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 2 to 3 minutes in length. 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.

Climate Stories Project supports WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files. Recorded stories are hosted on soundcloud.com. If you'd like to submit a video story, please contact us to coordinate file transfer.

In addition, please submit a photo of yourself and, if you like, photos of your local environment to illustrate what you love about where you live and/or changes that you are observing.

If you have any questions about uploading climate stories or our policies, please contact us. You can also request a person-to-person interview on the phone or online.
