Doc Society 2023 Climate Story Fund

The Climate Story Fund supports compelling storytelling and impact campaigns from around the world that move us closer to a climate just and biodiverse future.

The Climate Story Fund prioritizes climate stories centering the most affected, the unengaged and the underrepresented, and puts them at the center of the story. The Fund also prioritizes storytellers working in and from those communities, sharing narratives that resonate deeply with new and unengaged audiences, bringing them into critical conversations around climate justice.

We can support:

• Projects from all over the world, these can be localised stories serving local communities, or projects suited to a global audience
• Projects from both new and established artists
• Creative nonfiction projects, including long form, shorts or episodic documentaries as well as podcasts and radio documentaries in production
• Completed creative nonfiction and fiction projects of any medium looking to pilot an impact campaign
