About Climate Casualties

Climate Casualties is a human-centered climate impact archive. It exists to document how climate change is reshaping lives through loss, displacement, injury, and quiet acts of resilience.

Why this project exists

Most climate reporting focuses on degrees of warming, economic loss, or infrastructure damage. Those numbers matter, but they rarely capture what it feels like to lose a home to flooding, to work through record-breaking heat, or to breathe smoke-filled air for weeks.

This project aims to:

• Center people whose climate stories are under-reported or ignored.
• Create a space for remembrance and collective witnessing.
• Support journalists, researchers, and advocates with real-world accounts.

How stories are used

The long-term goal is to invite families, survivors, organizers, and researchers to share stories that can be used, with consent, in:

• Local organizing and mutual aid efforts.
• Journalism and climate justice reporting.
• Policy campaigns that need more than statistics.

Respect, consent, and care

Climate Casualties will always prioritize dignity, consent, and safety. Contributors should only share what they have permission to share. Identifying details may be omitted or anonymized if necessary.
