The Climate Story Lab Nordic was launched at CPH:DOX 2023 as a collaboration between Hum Studio Interactive (Sweden), Differ Media (Norway), CPH:DOX and Doc Society (UK) - credits to funders. From across the Nordic countries, 55 projects were received and 9 selected for the first cohort. The 9 film teams gathered at the Swedish Film Institute in November 2023 for a lab focused on their climate stories and impact strategies. At CPH:DOX 2024 we convened an open public event to discuss the role of the film and media industry in addressing the transformations necessary to respond to the challenges of climate justice. Across these events, the first edition of the Climate Story Lab Nordic brought together creative storytellers with scientists, activists, indigenous leaders, political strategists, cultural curators, journalists, distributors, commissioners, and festivals. Together, this powerful group strategized with filmmakers and advanced critical ideas of how the climate storytelling frontier can be nurtured for sustained climate action.
