Your climate story does not have to be a catastrophe, like extreme weather or wildfires. You can focus on how climate change is altering how you eat, play sports, or make vacation plans. You can celebrate climate solutions in your community or initiatives that you have participated in, or share how you find strength and inspiration in our changing world. These are all part of your climate story. It can be cathartic to express your feelings about climate change, and we hope you will find community and realize that other people around the world are experiencing and feeling some of the same things you are.

Last year, we explored Climate Heroes who have taken steps to fight climate change, from organizing rallies, researching solutions, and raising awareness. Oftentimes, the catalyst that sparks their journey comes from their lived experiences – their climate stories. With that, we ask you to tell your climate story.
