A Toolkit for Climate Storytelling

Whether you want to develop a whole show, a story line, or embed climate solutions in your character's world, this guide offers ideas, strategies, and tips to help.
The 2.4 billion children and youth globally, including 74 million in the UnitedStates, increasingly experience the realities of our changing climate: schools closed for “heat days,” more time indoors due to wildfire smoke, food insecurity because of drought, worsening asthma and allergies, evacuations from homes, and loved ones harmed or lost due to extreme weather.
Despite climate change impacting their lives and shaping their future, children and youth have little opportunity to understand why this is happening and what they can do.
Kids media can help children, youth, and families understand our changing climate using hope, humor, and solutions. This toolkit offers strategies, examples, and ideas to support creators in developing content grounded in the four essential climate principles, and urges content creators to help young people build an understanding of climate change and agency to act.
