2021 was the year climate change came home.

From the streets of Brooklyn to the forests of Siberia, a relentless barrage of fires, floods, and storms made devastatingly clear that the extreme weather climate scientists had been predicting for half a century had arrived. Now, in a production of unprecedented scope, Emmy-winning filmmakers Jon Siskel and Greg Jacobs chronicle that pivotal year through the eyes of everyday people around the world. Built out of thousands of hours of in-the-moment footage—no narration, no talking heads—The Here Now Project captures both the simultaneous, global nature of climate change itself and the deeply human resilience, resourcefulness, and courage needed to confront it.

The Power of a Story

April 8, 2025  11am-12pm pt

Communities are facing growing climate pressures, making collective adaptation efforts more important than ever. But how can we inspire and mobilize our communities to take action? A key element to any successful adaptation solution is how we frame and communicate it — moving community members from simply being informed to actively participating in solutions.

In this session, a panel of communication experts will share insights from their field on how to better connect with people and convey impactful messages. This discussion will feature Greg Jacobs, who co-directed The Here Now Project, Pearl Marvell from Yale Climate Connections, and Zoya Terstein from Grist. Together, they will explore effective storytelling and communication strategies that foster and advance local climate action.
