Climate change is a reality that everyone has an opinion on, from politicians’ and celebrities’ views, to social posts, news bulletins and the occasional outraged cabbie.

However, as is made clear in this tightly constructed and powerful campaign from creative agency Don’t Panic, the voices we really need to be listening to are the ones directly effected by the devestation.

Continuing WaterAid's animated efforts, charmingly rendered by Strange Beast's Ivyy Chen, Climate Stories is a three-part series based on the lives of communities living around Lake Chilwa in Malawi, in Kigamboni, Tanzania and in Dolakha, Nepal; each film honing in on one person's story of climate change experienced through either floods, drought or landslides.

“The truly sobering thing about the production of this campaign was how easy it was to find these harrowing stories," says George McCallum, Associate Creative Director, Don’t Panic. "There are so many millions who lack the most basic means to survive climate change. Water.”

“Climate change is happening now," adds Johnty Gray, Mass Engagement Director, WaterAid, "and it’s making it even harder for the world’s poorest people to get clean water. Our new animation series highlights the experiences of those living with the daily reality of climate change such as floods, drought and extreme weather. 

"The campaign is part of WaterAid’s journey of change in our advertising which started with our animation, The Girl Who Built A Rocket. We want to encourage people to visit our website to understand what we do and why, as we believe this will increase consideration for our work, leading to more sustained support.”
