This panel explores the topic of climate change fiction. Cli-fi authors will explore how authors use what is known and forecasted in climate change science to frame their story, the art of blending climate change science, imagination, and creative writing craft to create powerful Cli-fi and the potential of this genre to amplify society's understanding of our climate change future, and potentially stimulate societal action/response.
