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?
If you've answered yes to any of these questions, please get in touch!
Many thanks to Fergus Kennedy for use of the fantastic stormy waves footage.

Our latest Release
Beyond Bricks
Housing is a basic human requirement - but the construction industry is one of the world’s biggest sources of climate emissions and landfill waste.
Beyond Bricks investigates the balancing act needed to create hundreds of thousands of new homes in the UK without worsening the climate and ecological crises.
This is a particularly sensitive issue in Cornwall, the UK’s ‘capital of second homes’, where many thousands of people are on the housing register while huge numbers of houses lie empty.
Presented by Cornish builder Andy Carr, Beyond Bricks looks at everything from high tech housing solutions to people building with novel, climate-friendly materials, rethinking ‘waste’ and ensuring that our future homes also leave space for nature.
Whether we own or rent our homes, we all need a roof over our heads, and Beyond Bricks is a solutions-focused film to inspire us all.
Beyond Bricks (plus live Q&A with expert panel) premieres in Truro on 15 January and Plymouth on 29 January - book your tickets now!

Funding
Each of our documentaries takes a huge amount of work to complete and costs up to £40,000. While this is a lot of money, it is very reasonable compared with the industry average.
Each of our fantastic FREE school workshops costs us £150 to deliver - and the yearly cost for our educational programme is about £15,000.
Where does our money come from?
We launched this project with a generous bequest from a private individual who cared deeply about nature and the environment.
We have 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.
