Behind the biggest stories of the year, thousands of studies detailing new research also made the headlines. And climate change and energy were among the topics that received the most attention... #climate #climatechange #research #geography #news #CurrentEvents #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmegency #newsheadlines #energy #climatestories #media #climateanalytics

> A #ClimateStory we.. need is one that exposes who is.. responsible for climate chaos. It’s been popular to say that we are all responsible, but Oxfam reports that over the past 25 years, the #CarbonImpact of the top 1% of the wealthiest human beings was twice that of the bottom 50%, so responsibility for the impact and the capacity to make change is currently distributed very unevenly.

Ich mach heute noch was schönes: Ich war Teil der Jury für den Preis der Ev. Akademie Bad Boll und werde heute bei der Verleihung an #climatestories im Rahmen der #Michaelisakademie dabei sein. Wir hatten viele guten Projekte zur #Klimawandel-Bewusstseinsbildung. Das hier hat uns in seiner Verbindung von Menschen, die jetzt schon in der #Klimakatastrophe leben müssen, und uns hier überzeugt.

🆕🗓️🚨 EVENT NEWS: How to talk to children about the climate crisis. A #CreativeMatters #ClimateStories event for the Norwich Theatre!

I'm not primarily interested (for the class) in cli-fi representations of the terrible futures awaiting us on our current trajectory. I *am* interested (to some degree) in ecotopian fiction, solarpunk, etc - stuff that helps us imagine other, possible futures. But I also - mostly - want climate-action stories: narratives, manifestos, documentaries by and about people entering and reflecting on the struggle for a just & livable future.

The syllabus isn't written (far from), but I've collected a bunch of (I think) cool stuff, only some of which will ultimately be on the course-text list. So I thought I'd share some if it here, as much to help me think through what will work and what won't as for any other reason. But feedback very welcome, and of course additional suggestions as well.

"Mainstream media won’t touch certain #climatestories with a barge pole.

I spoke to the scientists, economists and campaigners who can’t get their pertinent research about the fragility of world systems into the press." - Rachel Donald

This is exactly what we launched #ClimateDiary for here on #Mastodon: hoping that by sharing personal experiences on the ground it makes it all the more real and connects us more, and that reading about other people’s efforts and ideas inspires #Climateaction. Everyone is welcome to join in! #ClimateStories #Storytellers #storytelling

A new Spanish #film explores the growing tensions between rural dwellers and #RenewableEnergy infrastructure. Looking forward to seeing Carla Simón's "Alcarràs."
