Climate Storytelling from the Global South | Ms Dizzanne Billy | Cohort 5

In our fourth webinar, titled “From Local Struggles to Global Narratives: Climate Storytelling from the Global South". We dive into how powerful climate stories rooted in lived experience can reshape global conversations. The session features guest speaker Dizzanne Billy, Caribbean Regional Director at Climate Tracker and an award-winning climate communicator with over 15 years of experience. Drawing from her work across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Dizzanne Billy explores why climate stories from the Global South matter—and how they are often overlooked or reduced to statistics. She shows how locally grounded narratives can make climate change feel real, urgent, and human for global audiences, closing the distance between abstract data and everyday life. The webinar breaks down the core principles of impactful climate storytelling, including centering people before policy, using specific details to build connection, linking local impacts to global systems, and amplifying community voices. Dane also highlights common pitfalls—like information overload, catastrophe framing, and speaking about communities instead of with them—and offers practical guidance for reframing local climate issues for global relevance. This session is an essential watch for aspiring science writers, journalists, and communicators interested in climate justice, inclusive storytelling, and amplifying voices from the Global South. It offers both inspiration and actionable tools for telling stories that challenge power, reveal inequality, and make the invisible visible. #climatestorytelling #globalsouth #climatejustice #sciencewriting #scicomm #climatejournalism #environmentalstorytelling #climateaction #inclusivestories
