September 25-28: Stream the short films, as well as new exclusive conversations with the journalists, as part of Climate Week NYC.


This collection of films, created by emerging journalists in the Pulitzer Center’s 2024 Reporting Fellowship program, captures how climate change is reshaping landscapes, livelihoods, and cultural traditions around the world. Together, they reveal what is at stake and the vision of a new generation responding to a changing planet.


The Pulitzer Center is an essential source of support for enterprise reporting in the United States and across the globe. We believe that people and communities who actively engage with systemic challenges will find solutions together. By supporting journalists as they conduct in-depth investigations, produce compelling stories, and engage diverse audiences, we create a ripple effect of world-changing impact. The result? Policy reforms, public awareness, and community empowerment.


The Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital (DCEFF) has been the world's premier showcase of environmental films since 1993. Our mission is to harness the power of film and community to illuminate, celebrate, and inspire positive and lasting action for our planet. Our Annual Festival returns to DC March 19-28, 2026.
