A project to watch for - launching Feb. 2011: exploring CLIMATE CHANGE

exploring CLIMATE CHANGE is looking at Climate Change on a local perspective, but connects the different point of views and at the same time brings these different stories together to a global level. We think that it is not enough to show only the local effects to understand Climate Change or to bring together the scientific knowledge about different effects. We want to get knowledge about Climate Change, about backgrounds, but especially how it is affecting us as human beings. For this we will be visiting the people that are already feeling the changes in their livelihoods. So that we can see what Climate Change actually means. And as this is nothing what only affects the poor and vulnerable, but can also be seen in post-industrial nations all over the globe, we want to bring together stories from all over the world to shape a global picture of how Climate Change is affecting us. But we also think that this journalistic approach is not enough, it needs the scientific background on the different effects as well. And we want to see what already is been done in NGO’s all around the world. And we want YOU to take part in it! We want to capture the small to create the large, a global picture of Climate Change, powered by the stories of the the people that already feel the effects of Climate Change, supported by the knowledge of the scientists. And at the end the project will hopefully have created not only a broader understanding of the effects of Climate Change, but also about the different cultures and livelihoods on this planet.

The key aspects of the project will get translated by our team into English, Danish, German, Spanish and French to make it accessable for as many as possible.

Join us on this journey!
