Cornwall’s Climate Stories is a series of inspiring documentaries highlighting the impacts of climate change already being felt across Cornwall - and the fantastic businesses, researchers, community groups and individuals working hard to prepare us for the challenges coming our way.
Our films are available online and we also screen them at community events, festivals, cinemas and schools in Cornwall and beyond.
Would you like to host your own community screening? Or do you have a Cornish climate story you think we should be telling?
Would you like us to deliver a discussion event or workshop in your community or school?

In this series of short films we delve into the facts behind some of the simplistic social media memes that regularly pop up about climate change. These may look very convincing but are often misleading....
Each film focuses on a different common theme of climate change confusion or conspiracy, unravelled in detail by our expert contributors.
We're adding to this collection all the time - check it out here!
Keep your eye on our social media too for more....
Each of our documentaries takes around six months to complete and costs up to £40,000. This includes the full production as well as community outreach and creation of screening packs and educational materials.
We launched this project with a generous bequest from a private individual who cared deeply about nature and the environment.
We previously received funding from Crowdfunder and Big Give campaigns, grants from the National Lottery Community Fund, Natural England, Aviva Community Fund, Cornwall Council Carbon Neutral Fund, Cornwall Council Climate and Nature Fund, Oak Foundation, Cornwall Community Foundation, Carew Pole Charitable Trust, Digital Plymouth iMayflower Fund, Creative Cornwall Calling Fund, Cornwall Councillor Community Chests, LocalGiving's Magic Little Grants and the Postcode Local Trust and Cornwall Catchment Partnership.
We raise money from our own events, independent screening licences and more generally from donations, which are incredibly important to us and hugely appreciated.
We are hugely grateful to all the organisations, businesses and individuals who have donated goods and services as fundraising prizes and rewards - as well as the wonderful people who donate their time to help us at events and in so many other ways.
