Climate Change Fiction

[close] **SPOILER ALERT** The book 'The Ministry of the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson, (whom we may more commonly reference as KSR or Stan) is a speculative cli-fi book about the very near future, challenges and solutions we will be encountering there. This group will consist almost completely of spoilers! We will try to remember to label the topics with the header *SPOILER* and then the CHAPTER(S) that are being spoiled. You may want to read the book before you visit this club, or follow along carefully for the technicals and policy wonkery we'll be sharing here. We will endeavor to provide links and media that is understandable and comprehensive. This will be a spoiler heavy group but is mostly aimed at real comprehension of concepts, processes, etc. Please label new topics and include the warning *SPOILER*. Have fun talking and learning about what it will take and how we're not all completely, necessarily doomed!!!

[close] This group is open to all those who are reading books passed forward by other readers. This was initiated at a live reading at Malmö University Climate Action Weeks 2025.

[close] Common reading creates community among first-year students and across campus. Each year, incoming students are presented with an engaging book that will be the focus of a campus-wide discussion. This year's book is Clade by author James Bradley. We are excited to have the opportunity to connect with you about this book, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts! Check out our website for more info: https://fyp.uoregon.edu/common-read

[close] This list focuses on centering the imaginations of authors on the margins for the purposes of inclusion, representation, and from which so much can be learned about resiliency and how to shape the future. “Fiction that centers those who are currently marginalized – not to be nice, but because those who survive on the margins tend to be the most experientially innovative – practicing survival-based efficiency, doing the most with the least, an important skill area on a planet whose resources are under assault by less marginalized people.” – adrienne maree brown
