Sci X Sci-Fi: Climate Fiction's Role in Building a Sustainable World

Cli-Fi (Climate Fiction) is an emerging genre inspiring world builders and innovators to imagine sustainable, thriving futures through speculation based on climate science. Science fiction author and journalist Annalee Newitz’s book, “The Terraformers,” is an uplifting exploration of a future centering a cast of characters devoted to maintaining ecosystem balance. Students who have read “The Terraformers,” or other works, including journalism, by Annalee are invited to come prepared with questions and join us for a conversation over dinner with Annalee and Luke Sanford, Assistant Professor of Environmental Policy and Governance at Yale School of the Environment, about the role of climate fiction in climate solutions.

Sci X Sci-Fi is a week-long series running from March 31-April 3, 2025 with Annalee and other guest speakers and is designed to empower participants with hope. Presented by Yale Planetary Solutions, the series invites the Yale community (and beyond) to imagine thriving futures and challenge dystopic trends through a new conversation between world builders and those innovating and inventing.
