Can Fiction be Used as an Effective Climate Communications Tool?

Laura Kosloff

Interested in the idea of “Cli-Fi” (Climate fiction)? Mark Trexler of The Climatographers discusses the idea in this short video, using the Climate Risk Brain.  Neither of us had heard the term until a few weeks ago, and we find it an interesting idea: does a separate “cli-fi” genre help raise awareness of climate risk and can it be an effective means of communicating climate issues?  We ourselves find the idea of using “alternative” historical fiction as an intriguing communications tool about climate risk.  Let us know what you think.
