Our Story
We are surrounded by climate facts, but often untouched by them. Traditional environmental messaging gives us data (graphs, forecasts, percentages) but rarely gives us a reason to feel.
This repository is dedicated to exploring humanity's complex relationship with the natural world through creative storytelling. We showcase short stories, novellas, scripts, and films with a focus on fictional narratives that explore environmental themes.
The Earthly Repository aims to be used as a source of inspiration and entertainment by the wider public, and those working with in the realms of media and entertainment.
Because the climate crisis cannot be understood and confronted by only data, but also the arts.
The Earthly Repository also recognises the importance of data in the climate conversation. This is why we publish Field Notes - our regular blog containing non-fiction material to accompany narrative work published in the repository.
“Humans are storytellers. It is our nature to make up stories, to interpret everything we perceive.”
