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.

Join Grist’s Tory Stephens in conversation with Imagine 2200 judges and award-winning authors Paolo Bacigalupi and Sam J. Miller and Imagine 2200 author Lovinia Summer to discuss how to decolonize and diversify climate fiction, the role of creativity and narrative building as an underutilized climate solution, and the process of building a hopeful future.
