That narrative is compelling for some, but leaves others feeling hopeless, helpless, and disillusioned. Even the most ardent champions of decarbonization sometimes focus more on sounding the alarm than on mapping out what success might look like. Without positive climate futures, visions of climate adaptation and resilience that we can work toward, it’s much harder to motivate broad-based efforts for change in the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough short speculative fiction, essays, and visual art, \u003ci\u003eClimate Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to inspire a wave of narratives about what positive climate futures might look like for communities around the world. This book features perspectives from writers, artists, researchers, and advocates based in a diverse range of places, each with their own unique opportunities and challenges for climate action: from China to Wales, Germany to Nigeria, Sri Lanka to Mexico, Malaysia, India, Brazil, the United States, and more.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction, Imagining Positive Climate Futures, by Ed Finn and Joey Eschrich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItineraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection I: Stories that Spark Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-World Cantata, by Vandana Singh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Case for Reckless Climate Optimism, by Chinelo Onwualu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Robin, the Wolves, and the Library, by Claire Armitstead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning to Dwell in Multispecies Futures, by Azucena Castro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Village Within, by Benjamin Ong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMina’s Dream, by Vandana Singh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection II: Reimagining Sustainable Cities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCity of Choice, by Gu Shi, translated by Ken Liu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Unwalkable City, by Yudhanjaya Wijeratne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate Action through Indigenous Design, by Joseph Kunkel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhosts of Climate Future and Climate Past, by Adeline Johns-Putra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeostalgia, by Fabio Fernandes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMothership Comes to the Heart of the Ocean, by Gu Shi, translated by Ken Liu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection III: From Climate Trauma to Climate Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmic Fire, by Libia Brenda, Andrea Chapela, Gabriela Damián Miravete, Martha Riva Palacio, Iliana Vargas and Alejandra Espino del Castillo, translated by Emma Törzs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Walk in Berlin, by Pippa Goldschmidt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlights of Fancy, by Anna Pigott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLandslides, Terror, and Resilience in the Himalayas, by Nalini Chhetri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate Action Dialogue: From Linear to Fractal, with Nigel Topping, Farhana Yamin, and Ed Finn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobots \u0026amp; Insects \u0026amp; Languages \u0026amp; Other Living Things, by Libia Brenda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection IV: Navigating Transitions, Building Communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath Is Not an Ornament, by Hannah Onoguwe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImagination in Climate Policy: A Story from Norway, by Manjana Milkoreit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStormpunk Islands, by Laura Watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate Action Dialogue: Becoming Better Humans, with Kim Stanley Robinson, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, and Ed Finn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes for Adda, by Hannah Onoguwe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterword: Pruning the Dystopiary, by Jason Anderson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eJoey Eschrich is Managing Editor at the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University and Assistant Director of Future Tense, a partnership of ASU and New America on emerging technologies and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEd Finn is Founding Director of the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University, where he is Associate Professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and the School of Arts, Media and Engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors:\u003cbr\u003eZeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, Jason Anderson, Claire Armitstead, Libia Brenda, Azucena Castro, Andrea Chapela, Nalini Chhetri, Alejandra Espino del Castillo, Fabio Fernandes, Ed Finn, Pippa Goldschmidt, Adeline Johns-Putra, Joseph Kunkel, Ken Liu, Manjana Milkoreit, Gabriela Damián Miravete, Benjamin Ong, Hannah Onoguwe, Chinelo Onwualu, Martha Riva Palacio, Anna Pigott, Kim Stanley Robinson, Gu Shi, Vandana Singh, Nigel Topping, Emma Törzs, Iliana Vargas, Laura Watts, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, Farhana Yamin","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233032253669,"sku":"NP9780262553667","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262553667.jpg?v=1767723829","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/climate-imagination-isbn-9780262553667","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
