Adaptation Stories in Ballina

Adaptation Stories is a compelling series of short films that captures the resilience and creativity of Northern Rivers locals as they navigate the challenges of a changing climate.

Each film captures personal journeys of resilience and creativity, showcasing how individuals are thinking about what adaptation can mean for themselves and their communities.

From farmer-led strategies in Richmond Valley, to arts-based perspectives in Lismore and business owners in Ballina, the stories span diverse approaches to adaptation across our region.

Following the screenings, a Q&A discussion brings together local leaders to explore what’s most important for community resilience and adaptation. This session encourages the audience to share ideas, ask questions, and connect with others who are passionate about building a sustainable future for the Northern Rivers region.

This project supports community engagement for the Northern Rivers Disaster Adaptation Plan, being developed by the NSW Reconstruction Authority. It's about starting conversations that matter—about how we adapt, together, to the changes ahead.
