Climate change does not affect everyone equally. Around the world, communities that have contributed the least to global emissions are the ones paying the highest price, losing homes, livelihoods, land, health, culture, and in some cases, entire ways of life.
The Climate Justice, Rights & Loss & Damage program exists to expose these injustices, amplify the voices of those most affected, and turn their stories into tools for global accountability, support, and meaningful action.
We document stories from communities already experiencing irreversible climate impacts:
families displaced by rising seas and extreme storms
farmers losing harvests to drought and heat
Indigenous communities defending land and culture
youth facing food insecurity and climate-linked conflict
women bearing the burden of climate-driven caregiving and labor
These stories reveal what statistics often hide: climate injustice is real, immediate, and deeply human.
The world has begun acknowledging the consequences of climate failure.
At COP28 and COP30, countries agreed to operationalize the Loss & Damage Fund a mechanism to support communities facing irreversible climate harm.
WeAreTELL monitors:
pledges and actual payments
who receives funding
how fast support moves
gaps, delays, and barriers
examples where communities still fall through the cracks
Our storytelling provides evidence for advocacy and policy reform.
We center the voices of:
youth leaders
climate migrants
women’s collectives
Indigenous defenders
human rights advocates
local activists
Their demands shape narratives and influence policy in a way data alone cannot.
We turn community experiences into:
policy briefs
short explainers
film screenings at global summits
story packages for NGOs and civil society partners
testimonies used in climate advocacy and legal efforts
This ensures frontline voices are heard in rooms where decisions are made.
We highlight how climate impacts intersect with:
poverty
gender inequality
youth vulnerability
food insecurity
land rights
migration and displacement
weak governance
Understanding these systems is essential to achieving true climate justice.
Through storytelling, research, and partnerships, we push for:
increased and accessible climate finance
faster support for loss and damage
recognition and protection of climate migrants
stronger land and Indigenous rights
accountability from major polluters
climate policy shaped by frontline realities
Our mission is to make justice impossible to ignore.
Join us as we change the way the world understands the climate crisis through powerful, human stories.
We’re inviting creators, storytellers, journalists, filmmakers, designers, and digital voices to join a growing community using storytelling to explore climate realities and solutions across the continent.
