Salote – video resource form Operation Noah

Sālote is a short animated video from Operation Noah which aims to help Christians around the world recognise the human cost of climate change, and particularly its impact on women and children.

The video has been designed for Christians of all ages and developed in partnership with the World Day of Prayer, and introduces the viewer to Sālote, a seven-year-old Polynesian girl who is already experiencing the devastating effects of a changing climate in her South Pacific island home.

As Sālote witnesses the impacts of climate change on three generations of her family, she reflects aloud on what has caused this change.

The story is inspired by real-life accounts of present-day climate change impacts such as rising sea levels, which hit poor and vulnerable populations, living in sensitive parts of the world like low-lying islands, the hardest.

The full video can be watched on the Operation Noah website, with an activity pack and factsheet for  church/home group: http://operationnoah.org/resources/salote/
