Living Climate Stories is a Met Éireann funded initiative which explores how storytelling can inform our understanding of and engagement with climate change. We are inviting you to complete this survey so we can expand our understanding of the lived impacts of climate change in terms of people’s daily experiences, local realities, challenges and supports.
FAQs
How do I complete the survey?
You can access the survey using this link. When answering your questions, you can choose to respond with written text or a voice note, and an image or a photograph, whatever feels comfortable for you.
Do I have to take part?
No. Taking part is your choice. If you start and then change your mind, you can stop and exit the page whenever you like.
Will anyone know what I said?
All survey answers will be kept anonymous, unless you choose to share your name.
These anonymous responses will be recorded within a GIS map, so our researchers and the public will be able to explore how different populations have experienced climate impacts.
To help us create our maps, we will ask for you to share your age, profession and an area that is local to you: this might be a village, neighbourhood or town. You can be as specific as you’d like here. (In the map, you have the option to shift the location button or type an area in manually to ensure anonymity.)
What happens after?
We appreciate you completing our survey, and once we have gathered our first round of responses, you will be able to see your story on our interactive GIS map.
The story-survey has been reviewed and approved by the Social Research Ethics Committee (SREC), University College Cork. If you consent to taking part in this survey, please now follow this link.
