Cornwall’s Climate Stories is a series of documentaries highlighting the impacts of climate change already being felt across Cornwall, as well as the fantastic local businesses, researchers and community groups working hard to prepare us for the challenges coming our way.
Climate change is going to impact us here in ways beyond just extreme weather and sea level rise. The films will focus on specific themes, from housing, transport and fishing to energy, health and farming, looking at how these will be affected in the future.
The series, being produced over the next three years, will also showcase some possible visions of a surprisingly different future - with beavers being used to re-engineer Cornish rivers and prevent flooding, hydrogen fuel being made from offshore wind power, cattle slurry turned into eco-diesel and our fields growing new crops like sunflowers and sweet potatoes.
We aim to screen the films at schools, colleges and community events the length and breadth of the Duchy, as well as online, to instill a feeling of pride and motivation about how Cornwall’s natural resources and ingenuity could make us a great example for the rest of the UK to follow on the critical journey to a low carbon future.
If we’re to have a chance of staying within safe climate limits, then all of us will have to be on board. We’re passionate about doing our part to make that happen.
If you have a Cornish climate story you think we should be telling please let us know!

Our latest Release
LIVING ON THE EDGE
View the Trailer below
The Duchy of Cornwall has a longer coastline and is battered by bigger waves than any county in England. The sometimes violent drama that plays out around Cornwall’s shores has always been a part of its identity.
But as climate change brings rising sea levels and worsening storms, what will this mean for Cornwall’s coastal communities?
Living on the Edge is presented by passionate ultra runner Emma Hazeldine, who takes us on a journey around the Cornish coast path, visiting places that are already being impacted in sometimes surprising ways – and coming up with a range of responses to the challenges that lie just beyond the horizon.

Funding
Each of our 30-minute documentaries takes around four months to complete and costs around £20,000. This includes the full production costs, community outreach and creation of educational materials.
We launched this project with a generous bequest from a private individual who cared deeply about nature and the environment.
We have also raised over £23,000 through a very successful Crowdfunder campaign with donations from over 260 wonderful individuals and businesses, as well as the Cornwall Council Carbon Neutral Fund, Digital Plymouth iMayflower Fund and Creative Cornwall Calling Fund.
We are also very grateful for a £10,000 grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, £17,000 from Natural England, plus a grant from LocalGiving's Magic Little Grants and the Postcode Local Trust to help us produce our first set of educational materials.
