These stories were originally written as part of a submission for Grist’s Imagine 2200 climate fiction short story contest. Unfortunately, the authors were not selected. Still, the premise read:
Imagine 2200 celebrates stories that envision the next decades to centuries of equitable climate progress, imagining futures of abundance, adaptation, reform, and hope. We are looking for stories that are rooted in creative climate solutions and community-centered resilience, showing what can happen as solutions take root, and stories that offer gripping plots with rich characters and settings, making that future come alive. Your story should be set sometime between the near future and roughly the year 2200. In 2,500 to 5,000 words, show us the world you dream of building.
