Grist's Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest celebrates stories featuring vivid, hope-filled, diverse visions of climate progress. Climate fiction can invite us to look beyond the current moment to envision the world that could be, and empower us to work toward it. The stories in this 2024 collection -- Imagine's third -- are not afraid to explore the challenges ahead, but ultimately offer hope that we can work together to build a more sustainable and just world. Through rich characters, lovingly sketched settings, and gripping plots, these stories welcome you into futures that celebrate who we are and what we can become.
Get a taste of Imagine with this piece from the 12-story collection, "The Long In-Between," by Andrew Kenneson. In this story, a father's effort to honor his daughter’s memory through a rewilding project collides with his neighbor’s conventional farming practices. This sweet tale largely takes place in the present -- unusual for a piece of climate fiction -- but gives us license to imagine what each of us is capable of creating.
