WORKSHOP ON RE-IMAGINING CLIMATE FUTURES 

The event has passed. View the recording here. Read the summary blog post here.

JSPG together with the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University (CSI) and the UK Science and Innovation Network (UK SIN) organized an event around re-imagining climate futures on September 7, 2021 from 12:30-2:00 pm EST. This public event brought together innovative thinkers in climate science and provided opportunities for the next generation to re-imagine positive climate futures. 

The event included an overall framing of these concepts, followed by breakout rooms where published authors from the Special Topics Issue on Climate Change Solutions worked together with some of CSI's Climate Imagination Fellows on themes that included climate adaptation, resilience, and sustainability; climate justice; and community engagement.
CLIMATE FUTURES EVENT RSVP - CLOSED
Background:
Climate Futures projects focus on short range fiction contests and public events to research projects and experiments in collaborative storytelling. The Climate Imagination Fellowship, hosted by the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University (CSI), seeks to inspire a wave of narratives about what positive climate futures might look like for communities around the world. 

Acclaimed global science fiction authors Libia Brenda, Xia Jia, Hannah Onoguwe, and Vandana Singh have been named Climate Imagination Fellows as part of an initiative to inspire positive visions of climate action and resilience. The Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University is leading the project in partnership with TED Countdown and the United Nations High-Level Climate Champions, with funding from the ClimateWorks Foundation. 

The project is inspired in part by renowned science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson’s recent novel The Ministry for the Future, and Robinson serves as a senior advisor to the effort. 

The four fellows will create original climate-futures novelettes, and engage in workshops and events leading up to TED’s Countdown Summit in October 2021 and the UN Climate Change conference (COP26) in November 2021. In addition to these novelettes, each fellow will craft a handful of flash-fiction stories, capturing and communicating a range of possible futures shaped by the climate crisis and our collective responses to it. These pieces of fiction will be collected, along with essays, interviews, art, and interactive activities, in a Climate Action Almanac, to be published in 2022.

Following the event, authors published in the issue will have the opportunity to contribute to a summary post, and are also welcome to share ideas for possible inclusion in the almanac.
