“Stories, and the people who tell them, matter more than ever. At a time when we’re flooded by noise and competing causes, authentic storytelling is critical to being able to cut through the clutter and evoke emotion in a way that causes people to respond and to act. National Geographic and The Climate Pledge seek to turn the power of storytelling toward illuminating climate resilience and solutions around the world.”

Grants up to $100,000 are available.
