ClimatePulse

In collaboration with Weatherzone, this project delivers videos presented by meteorologist Ben Domensino on Australia-wide climate trends and impacts. These videos are distributed via the Weatherzone app and redistributed via their website and social media accounts.

Half the videos cover observed monthly or seasonal trends from across the country which can include records broken, extreme weather events or changes in temperature and rainfall. Together they showcase the significant variation in Australia’s climate and the implications of climate change. The long-form nature of the videos also presents a unique opportunity to explore the trends and drivers of Australia’s weather and climate more deeply, helping to build strong climate literacy among viewers.

The remaining videos explain some of the broader impacts of climate change and are designed to be engaging to the diverse interests of Australian audiences. Topics range from the impacts of climate change on wine or chocolate production to the intensification of extreme weather events and their impact on health.

By showcasing the tangible and wide-reaching social, environmental and economic impacts of climate change, these videos appeal to audiences who may not previously have felt that climate change will affect them.
