Climate Fiction
Climate fiction, often abbreviated as cli-fi, represents a genre that addresses the intricate relationship between humanity and the changing climate. These TV shows and films delve into a near or distant future where the consequences of environmental degradation and global warming have significantly altered the world as we know it.
At its core, climate fiction serves as a platform for exploring the impending ecological crisis and its multifaceted impacts on societies, ecosystems, and individuals. It immerses viewers in worlds where extreme weather events, rising sea levels, resource scarcity, or other environmental upheavals have reshaped landscapes and social structures, painting a vivid picture of the potential repercussions of unchecked environmental exploitation.
These narratives often center around characters grappling with the challenges of a world in flux, highlighting themes of resilience, adaptation, and the ethical dilemmas that arise in the face of environmental catastrophe. Protagonists might include scientists striving to mitigate or reverse the damage, activists fighting against corporate interests, or ordinary people navigating the harsh realities of a climate-altered existence.
