The Klima Film Festival is a project that aims to mainstream the effects of climate change through the use of films written and produced by the Filipino youth.

For the year 2021, the KFF will carry the theme, Adapting For A Sustainable Future: Stepping Up Local Climate Action in a Post-Pandemic World to highlight the importance of local climate action and taking proactive measures that will optimize our nation’s future — to plan, build and support sustainable communities. This is aligned with the need for the Philippines to raise its ambition towards the fulfillment of its Nationally Determined Contributions submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the observance of the UN Decade of Ecosystems Restoration 2021-2030.

The Klima Film Festival aims to:

  1. Harness the potential of films in building awareness and understanding on climate change, and driving action to address its causes and impacts;
  1. Mobilize the youth in amplifying the importance of local climate solutions to further increase their influence on local climate policy-making; and
  1. Generate local climate adaptation stories as viewed by young Filipino filmmakers by providing venue for the production and promotion of climate science-based short films.
