Climate Storytelling Fellowship

Africa has had few climate stories in mainstream entertainment considering the significant impact of the crisis on the continent. Many of the stories told today are with a common practice of representing Africa's vast complexity through a single one-sided lens.

These stories depict extreme weather disasters, causalities and societal breakdown. And while true on some of these apocalyptic stories, they portray despair for African future and sometimes with no hope unless with Global North intervention.

We want to change the narrative and showcase the enormous potential for original content that illuminates the complexities and nuanced human reality of the African climate crisis, including stories about people particularly the youth fighting for a healthier, more equitable and sustainable future.
