About FTC

Face the Climate (FTC) is an independent journalistic reporting project that puts faces on the people who are struggling against climate change in their everyday lives.

Climate change is often described through news about scientific reports or political negotiations. However, climate change is a global phenomenon affecting us all.

Consequently, Face the Climate has visited nine families in nine different countries in order to report how climate change is affecting their lives.

By telling the stories of individual people, we seek to make a complex subject more tangible – thereby unfolding the large scale context of climate change.

At the same time, Face the Climate is a journalistic experiment. Based on the possibilities of the Internet, we seek to renew the reporting genre. Instead of communicating our reports in the shape of traditional newspaper articles or classic TV news items, every story is presented using all colours of the media palette: We communicate through a mixture of mini features, still photos, audio, music, and text, altogether presenting every story as an Internet-facilitated multimedia report.
