Documentaries and audio-visual journalism are more than just storytelling; they are powerful tools that helps to bring the stark realities of social issues such as climate change into our views. These mediums foster a deeper understanding of the crisis.  As the world grapples with the escalating climate emergency, the role of these mediums in shaping a collective will to protect our planet cannot be overstated. Hence, this week, for #SolJournoChats, we spoke with Temitayo Akinyemi and Kate Ginikachi Okorie, both excellent documentary storytellers to share their thoughts with us. Read, enjoy and let us know what you think! #Climatechange #Documentary #VisualStorytelling #ClimateAction #SolJournoChats #MediaImpact #PolicyChange #PublicOpinion #SolutionJournalism

Why? Because she has joined the ranks of other notable comedians such as Nish Kumar, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, and Jonathan Pie in Climate Science Translated, a project that translates complex climate science into accessible and funny content to spur millions of people into action. Even though climate change is the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, research by the Climate Science Breakthrough team shows that just 2% of the public can name a climate scientist. Nearly everyone knows Jo Brand. Getting famous comedians to translate what climate scientists are saying in a funny, ironic and often blunt way makes the science much more accessible. And it works. ⬇ see The Conversation UK article which has new video 🤣 #climatechange #comedy #communication #climate #globalwarming

Have you heard of the `Climate Reality Check`? It's a way to assess how real and impactful climate change is for a character in a movie or pop culture. I heard about it on this week's episode of Volts podcast. #Film #Movies #Screenwriting #PopCulture #ClimateChange #ClimateRealityCheck

How can we use mainstream journalism to help people better understand the connection between climate science and extreme weather events? Tune in to our latest episode to learn more about this incredible climate solution! 🗞🌤️ In our new episode, we engage in conversation with Jonathan Vigliotti, a CBS News Correspondent who exemplifies the growing movement of climate journalists dedicated to educating the public on the impacts of climate change. Vigliotti believes that climate journalism has the power to spark change through the use of accurate, inspiring, and thought-provoking reporting. Climate change is leading to more frequent and severe natural disasters, impacting communities across the globe. Media coverage plays a critical role in informing the public about these events. Strong reporting can also empower individuals and policymakers to take action and prepare for climate impacts. However, climate journalism only represents around 1% of corporate broadcasting. Despite its potential to inspire action, climate journalism faces obstacles such as limited access to climate-related disasters and political polarization, which hinder comprehensive coverage. Overcoming these challenges requires increased resources, strategic approaches, and investment in climate journalism.

🌷 Climate storytelling uses emotions and narratives of climate change to unite individuals under the common goal of climate action. 💪 This type of storytelling allows us to present climate issues with relevancy and urgency. We’re calling all screenwriters to conduct a climate reality check to ensure that climate change and action topics become part of everyday life. Let’s do our part in tackling misinformation and pushing for collective change! 👏 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Missed this session?

"The Economics of Water" by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water highlights the hydrological cycle as a global common good. It discusses the movement of blue and green water. It emphasizes the impacts of human activities, climate change, and deforestation on water resources. Additionally, it highlights the broader implications of inadequate potable water, including health issues, economic instability, food security challenges, and environmental degradation. The proposed framework aims to revolutionize food systems, conserve habitats, establish a circular water economy, and ensure safe water access by 2030.
