Stories of our changing environment
Blogs, papers, videos and experiences of climate change.
We all have stories about how our changing environment is affecting us; no matter which place is home. We are also starting to create the stories of how we are responding to these changes and troubles. As humans, it is through stories that we create and share understandings of our world.
Here are some experiences of climate change in Australia and the Pacific, and reflections on the solutions we are finding.
A changing climate
In 2020, the Australian Museum published interviews with a variety of people to answer 3 questions: What is climate change? What are the impacts of climate change? What are the solutions to climate change?
Not surprisingly, these questions revealed a wide range of answers.
