Cornwall’s Climate Stories is a series of documentaries highlighting the impacts of climate change already being felt across Cornwall, as well as the fantastic local businesses, researchers and community groups working hard to prepare us for the challenges coming our way.

Climate change is going to impact us here in ways beyond just extreme weather and sea level rise. The films focus on specific themes, from housing, transport and fishing to energy, health and farming, looking at how these will be affected in the future.

The series, being produced over the next three years, will also showcase some possible visions of a surprisingly different future - with beavers being used to re-engineer Cornish rivers and prevent flooding, cattle slurry turned into green fuel and our fields growing new crops like sunflowers and sweet potatoes.

We screen our films at community events, schools and colleges the length and breadth of the Duchy, as well as online. The aim is to get local conversations started and motivate people by showing how Cornwall’s natural resources and ingenuity could make us a great example for the rest of the UK to follow on the critical journey to a low carbon future.

Would you like to host your own community screening, using one of our step-by-step screening packs? Or would you like us to deliver a discussion event or workshop in your community or school? If so please get in touch!

If we’re to have a chance of staying within safe climate limits, then all of us will have to be on board. We’re passionate about doing our part to make that happen.

If you have a Cornish climate story you think we should be telling please let us know.
