What is the role of fiction in climate solutions? Grist recently published the third collection of winning stories from its climate fiction short story contest, Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors. This contest has engaged writers from across the globe in envisioning the next 180 years of climate progress, community-oriented solutions, and intersectional world-building. These stories provide flickers of hope, even joy, and serve as a springboard for exploring how fiction can help create a better reality.
