Climate Sisu in the News
Great Lakes Now | PBS Documentary explores climate resilience in northern Michigan
“Climate Sisu” is the first documentary to address climate change and community resiliency in Northern Michigan. Taking the audience on a journey from Grand Valley State University to the Center of Native American Studies at Northern Michigan University in search of knowledge about climate action, resilience, adaptation, and education, Climate Sisu offers an urgent call for climate action. It is a collection of powerful stories told by students, activists, scientists, educators, farmers, and planners, looking for climate change solutions at the heart of the Great Lakes region.
