Tell Your Climate Story challenged students worldwide to become climate witnesses and creatively express their personal experiences, insights, and perceptions about our changing climate reality. Through the process of imagining, designing, and creating their pieces, students learned about climate impacts in their own backyards and discovered ways they can take action to prevent further climate catastrophes. Their works serve as timely testimonies of what it’s like growing up in the age of climate change. View the insightful new collection of Visual Art, Film, Interactive & Multimedia, Performing Arts, Poetry & Spoken Word, and Creative Writing.

“Through my artwork, I hope to reach out to people that I would never have gotten the opportunity to reach otherwise. Hopefully this will inspire support for our cause of reducing – and eventually eliminating – ocean pollution.”
