When we think of climate, the stories we tell about the future are bad: megastorms, crop failures, and heat waves loom over us. These narratives are compelling, but can leave us feeling hopeless, helpless, and disillusioned.
To motivate broad-based change in the present, we need visions of positive climate futures grounded in both science and local geographical and cultural particularities. We need stories of change that bridge the urgent imperative for global coordination with values, resources, and community action, envisioning transformation that grows bottom-up and bottom-out, rather than top-down.
In the wake of the COP28 U.N. climate change summit, join Future Tense for the launch of a collection of such stories: the Climate Action Almanac, presented by Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination and the ClimateWorks Foundation. We’ll be in conversation with contributors to the Almanac from around the world who have charted possible pathways toward a vibrant, decarbonized future.
This event will take place in English, with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish. It is presented by Future Tense in collaboration with the ClimateWorks Foundation and Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination and Convergence Lab.
