About State of Change
PBS North Carolina launched the “State of Change” project to personalize the impact of climate change, provide details about the science of the challenges, share solutions to combat the issues and develop resiliency to adapt to it.
“State of Change: Seeds of Hope” comes to PBS NC this April with stories of North Carolinians across the state who have responded to the challenges of climate change in new and innovative ways. This series is produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center and is part of their nationwide Connected Coastlines reporting initiative.
This season we’ll meet North Carolinians who are adapting to our changing climate in new and inspiring ways. From conserving land and growing foods that are tolerant of extreme conditions to using farmland to produce both crops and solar energy, these innovators are facing the challenges of climate change with perseverance and ingenuity.
“State of Change: Seeds of Hope” premieres Monday, April 22, at 9pm, on PBS NC. Stream online or with the free PBS App.
