The Heat

Anonymous

I have always been the type of person who likes to take walks. Whether in the early morning as the sun rises, late afternoon as the sun sets, or at night with the streets lit by moonlight.

Western NY to NYC

Anonymous

My climate story is not too extensive. I grew up in Western New York, about 1 hour outside of Buffalo. I grew up in the suburbs of a smaller city, which to me was a very typical American upbringing.

Growing up in South Florida

Agi Lang

Ther Largo

I am Ther, a Bisaya girl who first moved to Manila, the bustling capital of the Philippines at age 16, and then moved to (what I call) the capital of the world, New York City, at 23.

Echoes of Change, A Turkish Climate Story

Birce Murtezaoglu

As the sun sets over the bustling cityscape of Istanbul, I find myself reminiscing about the days when the skyline seemed untouched by the hands of time. Growing up in Turkey, I remember endless fields stretching out before me, adorned with olive groves and vineyards, a patchwork of vibrant colors under the warm Mediterranean sun.

En Abril, Aguas Mil

Andrea Viteri Fernandez

My Home Town
