Balangay - Mga Kwento ng Klima Short Films 2023
Thank you for your interest in participating in the Mga Kwento ng Klima Short Films 2023. 

Overview

Due to its geography and archipelagic nature, the Philippines continues to be one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the exacerbating effects of climate change. While most Filipinos are no stranger to the realities of the changing climate, many are still unable to prepare and promptly respond to its impact due to lack and inaccessibility of information.

This project aims to increase awareness and understanding of climate change in the country towards national resilience building by generating climate stories that inspire climate action through the production of short films on local climate realities of at-risk communities.
