The 2016 Climate Fiction Short Story Contest challenged writers around the world to create short stories that imagined possible futures for Earth and humanity transformed by climate change. More than 700 submissions were received from 67 countries, and winners were selected through a careful judging process involving sci-fi legend Kim Stanley Robinson and a panel of expert judges, including from ASU’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability and Rob and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Initiatives.
