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.
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, and how they can also be part of the solution.
Our films are available online and we also screen them at community events, festivals, cinemas and schools not just in Cornwall but all around the country too.
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.

#ClimateScam?
#ClimateScam? Who's Shaping the Climate Debate?
As the world faces increasingly devastating climate-related disasters, why do so many people believe that the climate crisis is nothing more than a hoax?
In this eye-opening documentary, Jaz, a young mobile hairdresser and social media-savvy member of the TikTok generation, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth.
In home visits with leading climate scientists, activists and sceptics, she starts to unravel a web of misinformation and conspiracy theories that should worry us all.
With social media algorithms increasingly funnelling us into polarised views of 'reality', Jaz discovers who stands to gain from the conflict and falsehoods that could undermine our ability to confront the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.
