Climate experts and writers work together to present 23 positive climate-fiction short stories written to answer the question: how can we create a sustainable future?
A collection of inspiring, funny, dark, mysterious, tragic, romantic, dramatic, upbeat and fantastical short stories, written by a variety of authors, such as Kim Stanley Robinson, Paolo Bacigalupi and others. Their aim is to inspire readers with positive visions of what a sustainable society might look like and how we might get there.
The stories are diverse in style, ranging from whodunnits to sci-fi, romance to family drama, comedy to tragedy, and cover a range of solution types from high-tech to nature-based solutions, to systemic aspects relating to our culture and political economy.
