I'm fascinated by the question of how we can improve climate and environmental storytelling. There's research that shows that 45% of young people in the United States experience climate anxiety so bad that it negatively affects their daily functioning. As we learned during a conversation with Nathaniel Stinnett of the Environmental Voter Project last fall, over 5 million Americans list climate and the environment as their #1 top issue, but don't actually vote. To me, these are indicators that we need new kinds of storytelling and new ways to experience the climate transition.To learn about the state of environmental and climate storytelling, I sat down with one of the leading funders of environmental films, Jill Tidman, Executive Director of The Redford Center. Jill brings decades of storytelling experience and understands the challenges of not only getting environmental films distributed but also creating impact through them. We spoke about how the film distribution and funding landscapes have changed, the history of the Redford Center, its impact framework, examples of films and impact campaigns they've supported, and much more. If you're a film fan, just generally curious about the role of documentaries in creating change, or like me, want to understand how we can improve storytelling for climate, there's a lot to learn from this conversation. Enjoy.

Andrew Lewin and Tao Leigh Goffe dive deep into the intersection of storytelling, culture, and the urgent issue of climate change with renowned scholar Tao Leigh Goffe. Through an engaging conversation, we explore how storytelling serves as a bridge between individuals, communities, and the global climate crisis. Tao highlights the importance of amplifying voices from marginalized and vulnerable communities on the frontlines of environmental change. We discuss the power of cultural narratives to inspire action, reframe perspectives, and foster empathy in addressing the climate crisis. Tao emphasizes how the arts, history, and personal storytelling can challenge dominant narratives about climate change, making the issue more accessible and emotionally impactful. The episode also examines the ocean's role in storytelling, its significance to cultural identity, and how its degradation affects communities worldwide. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how storytelling can be a transformative tool in mobilizing change, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering a collective commitment to protecting our planet.

8.11.24 What Happens Next? Will Climate Change Wipe Out the Indo-Pacific? | 96 Explore the mounting climate challenges facing the Indo-Pacific, Monash University's home and a region at the frontline of the global environmental crisis. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events and record-breaking heat are reshaping the lives of millions, but these issues are more than just numbers and projections—they're personal, cultural and immediate. Host Dr Susan Carland speaks with experts from Monash, including Professor Tony Capon, Dr Gabriel García Ochoa, Dr Lagipoiva Cherelle Jackson, Dr Elissa Waters and Professor Christian Jakob. Together, they discuss why the Indo-Pacific's unique vulnerabilities demand urgent action and how the stories we tell about climate change impact our willingness to act. Dr García Ochoa highlights the power—and dangers—of storytelling, explaining how compelling but simplified narratives can either inspire change or undermine it. Dr Jackson shares the deeply personal cost of climate impacts on Pacific Island communities, whose connection to the land is both cultural and ancestral. Meanwhile, Dr Waters calls for nuanced narratives that recognise the resilience and rights of Pacific Islanders, emphasising that adaptation, not just relocation, is key. As COP29 approaches, this episode calls for global attention on the Indo-Pacific's fight for survival. A full transcript of this episode is available on Monash Lens.

Dialog Choices Podcast #87 - “eNvIrOnMeNtAl sToRyTeLlInG” by Keith Ballard

The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend is a narrative VR game with lots of exquisite environmental storytelling with embodied puzzles and escape room mechanics. You play as a 19th-century Chinese woman named Cheng Shih as she becomes one of the most powerful pirates in history. Singer Studios premiered the first 30 minutes of the experience, and it won the Tribeca Immersive Storyscapes award. The jury statement says, “For its outstanding technical execution, immersive user experience, and unique and untold story of a nearly forgotten woman in history.” I had a chance to catch up with the founder and CEO of Singer Studios, Eloise Singer, who directed The Pirate Queen as well as producer Siobhan McDonnell, who looks after the immersive wing at Singer Studios. Singer Studios specializes in telling transmedia stories across film, TV, games, and podcasts. They're also working on a podcast series and TV series of The Pirate Queen starring Lucy Liu. Liu also executive produced and narrated the VR game. They're also adapting their Venice 2022 narrative game Mrs. Benz into a film version. We talk about the affordances of these different media, and how they're changing how they tell these stories across these different mediums.

Lylla Younes' work has had an impact. Her work mapping cancer-causing industrial pollution in Louisiana for ProPublica helped lead to a plastic manufacturer's permit to be suspended. She's written about oil spills, hazardous waste and a tanker off the coast of Yemen that's poised to cause an environmental disaster. She's now a staff writer at Grist, a nonprofit telling stories at the intersection of climate and justice. In this episode, we chat about her path to data and environmental journalism, her work as an investigative reporter and all the intersections environment stories contain. Lylla's project she mentions is called “We Were Not Allowed To Mourn.” It tells the stories of New York's Arab and Muslim community after 9/11 and can be found here. “I think the best stories, the ones that I want to tell myself, often have an eye for both the very close view and the local and that specific instance, and also the larger systemic forces at play, and are able to kind of balance those two perspectives.” Guest: Lylla Younes, staff writer at Grist.

Mrs. Benz: Voyage of Discover combines escape room puzzle mechanics with environmental storytelling with exquisite attention to detail in order to tell the story of Bertha Benz, the the wife of the founder of Mercedes Benz, as she steals his car to take first ever road trip. I speak with director Eloise Singer and producer Siobhan McDonnell about they come to VR via film, how they created a stunning imaginal archival film scene, how they used environmental design as an expression of character, and a sneak peak into some their transmedia plans to expand this story beyond VR into a podcast series, film, and into other formats as well.

In season 3, episode 10, we chat with Jeff Leinenveber and Jarrett Lantz, creators of The Nest, an intimate, memorable immersive experience that was a masterclass in environmental storytelling. The Nest unfolded through a series of audio cassette tapes that guests discovered while wandering through a labyrinth of memorabilia and memories. As former Disney Imagineers, Jarrett and Jeff really showcased their talent in scenic design, crafting a rich narrative through an incredible set that took guests on a dreamlike journey through one woman's memories. They talk about purposeful design choices meant to foster a sense of intimacy and creating spaces that help further the narrative.

Über ludonarrative Dissonanz, Environmental Storytelling und allgemein Erzählung im Spiel sprechen wir mit Käsekuchenliebhaber und "Medien und Gesellschaft"-Student Fabian Bhatti. Menschen lieben Geschichten. Wir erzählen sie uns auf verschiedene Weisen und vielleicht sogar schon als wir noch in Höhlen lebten. In Geschichten finden wir uns wieder, wir lernen aus ihnen. Sogenanntes “Storytelling” ist auch als Methode in Bereichen wie Wissensvermittlung, Rhetorik und Marketing zu finden. In Gamification-Kontexten werden wir durch Geschichten zum Handeln motiviert. Und wenn wir Spiele spielen, tauchen wir zumeist in komplexe, virtuelle Welten ein, in denen wir “selbst” Geschichten erleben; oftmals in ganz anderen Maßstäben als es im eigenen Leben denkbar wäre. Mal folgen wir einem vorgegebenen Pfad, mal bestimmen wir selbst, wohin die Reise unseres Avatars geht. Mal verschmelzen wir mit der Spielwelt, mal reißen uns Unstimmigkeiten aus dem Spiel... === Shownotes === Hier geht's zu Bens Weihnachtsspiel-Adventskalender: twitch.tv/thurlynox === Wie wichtig ist Euch die Erzählung in Spielen? Wann haben Euch Handlung und Spielwelt total begeistert? Diskutiert gern mit uns und der Spielsinn-Zuhörerschaft auf unserem Discord-Server. === Um auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben, folgt uns einfach auf der Podcast-Plattform Eurer Wahl oder auf Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). Diverse Links sind auch zu finden unter: linktr.ee/spielsinn.podcast. Fragen und Anregungen könnt Ihr uns natürlich auch auf klassischem Weg per E-Mail an spielsinn.podcast@gmail.com zukommen lassen.

How do we expand the emotional range of environmental writing? One author argues that irreverence can be a potent form of subversion as we confront climate crisis. The post Humor in Environmental Storytelling: A Conversation with Michael Branch appeared first on Edge Effects.

In this episode, Paul, Jimmy and Glen try to come up with their own definition of Environmental Storytelling. They prattle on about hypothetical game situations and also talk about environmental storytelling in specific games. Glen and Paul agree to disagree about the exact same thing. Jimmy uses an environmental storytelling technique to add depth to his Dungeons and Dragons campaign. They circle around a sort of definition of what environmental storytelling is and end up with a pretty solid understanding of it (we think). They also debate on how difficult it must be to create environmental storytelling in a 2D game as well as praise current and past developers for putting that challenge on themselves.

This week we have Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle as our main focus. This is a deep game and as such we have a lot to talk about. We were surprised at the quality of this game for having such a short time between announcement and launch but it's very good. We also talk about the latest DLC from Little Nightmares. In our news, we have the free games for Xbox One and Playstation 4 for September. There are some good ones including Oxenfree and Infamous Second Son. We also discuss the Nintendo Switch Nindie lineup, 343 Industries working on VR/AR tech, Destiny 2 and more. In our discussion, we break down environmental storytelling and how powerful it is for a game. We use examples from games like What Remains of Edith Finch, Bloodbourne and even Overwatch to delve into how game developers tell a story in a unique way via narrative, investigative and atmospheric.
