Climate Resilience

While climate change is one of the most salient topics in ocean justice, it is also one of the most ambiguous, an umbrella concept that contains many different materializations. These films work to disambiguate climate change by breaking down specific issues and tracing their localized impacts. They show how changes from rising sea levels to coral bleaching are starting to undermine entire lifeways, making clear what is at stake. Some films show how climate change ruptures social bonds, others highlight new relations of transnational solidarity. They all firmly refuse narratives of victimization, highlighting instead people’s creativity and adaptability in the face of unimaginable change.
