What began as an idea to highlight France’s coastal challenges has transformed into a global conversation.

Nouvelles Cartes, the documentary by Clara Dormart and Etienne Martin, is now making waves at UNOC 2025, proving that storytelling can drive real change in the fight against climate disruption.

🌱 From a Living Room Idea to Global Recognition

Two years ago, Clara Dormart and Etienne Martin sat in their living room, envisioning a way to spotlight the growing threats to France’s coastline due to climate change. That idea evolved into Nouvelles Cartes, a documentary exploring how coastal communities are adapting to rising sea levels and environmental shifts. Fast forward to UNOC 2025 in Nice, and Clara found herself presenting their work at one of the world’s most influential ocean conferences.

🌊 Making Waves at UNOC 2025 🏆

Selected from 600 applications, Clara and Etienne’s documentary was recognized for its impact on climate discourse. Their participation at UNOC 2025 wasn’t just a milestone—it was proof that Nouvelles Cartes is shaping conversations about coastal resilience. Backed by EDHEC Business School, the documentary captures the evolving landscape of France’s shores and the people fighting to protect them.

🎥 A Screening That Sparked Action

Beyond the conference stage, Nouvelles Cartes made an impact at the Ocean Impact Forum, hosted by the Waves of Change Coalition. The screening of the documentary’s introductory episode drew attention from key figures, including French navigator François Gabart, reinforcing the vital connection between environmental awareness and maritime expertise. Clara’s presence at these events marked her transition from an independent filmmaker to a recognized advocate for climate adaptation.

🚀 Overcoming Challenges to Create Change

Reflecting on their journey, Clara acknowledges the hurdles—the moments of doubt, the overwhelming workload, and the uncertainty of whether their project would gain traction. But standing in Nice, sharing their message with global leaders, she knew their effort had paid off. Nouvelles Cartes was no longer just an idea—it was a force for awareness and action.
