A Free, Downloadable Climate Storytelling Tool for Individuals & Organizations
“What’s Your Climate Story?” is an easy-to-use guide for anyone interested in learning how to talk about our climate crisis with others. It uses a simple storytelling framework that makes it simple to open up dialogue with others, because it doesn’t focus on science, statistics, or politics.
Telling climate stories is one of the most powerful ways we all have of sparking discussions and creating behavioral change. In addition, faith-based organizations have an opportunity to help people tell stories that link personal and communal faith with personal and communal action. They can ask, “What’s your faith and climate story?” and then help people to connect the dots between one’s spiritual life and actions to care for the environment.
