Sorry, just one link today - it's been one of those weeks... but this one is worth it. Take half an hour and listen to this New Yorker Radio Hour podcast on essential climate crisis workers. Plenty of story material here, told and untold - and plenty to think about.

'We need to change the world back again. And that will take science, but it will also take art. To convince to inspire and to build a future.' Thank you Mr Gaiman for this COP26 address and blog post @neilhimself


Sundance Stories of Change: a number of the links just go to an ‘empty’ hosting site but still.


 Kokoly: I caught this at the CCFF but it’s also available here - with a ’take action’ page. Resilience if I ever saw it.


Naught to do with climate storytelling, really - but a big statement: UN declares access to clean environment a human right


That's all for today, gotta rush to catch a train. See you here next Sunday!

To stream or not to stream? Read this Guardian article  - and  then perhaps consider going to your local library first…?


Related to this: Green Streaming - haven’t checked this in detail yet - many thanks to fellow Ecotopian Matthew Curlewis for these two links.


Then, this unedited (!) TED Talk where a climate youth activist confronts BP CEO - nothing to do with storytelling as such but everything to with the emotions we need to infuse our stories with. And how to move forward despite  pain and despair.


The Science & Entertainment Exchange is a great source for writing science-based stuff accurately. Next one coming up on Tuesday 9th Nov: Yes, in My Backyard: Climate Predictions for Your Neighborhood.


That's all for this week; I'm off to watch my daily dose of the Climate Crisis Film Festival. A fabulous event, do give it a try - on for another week.
