Climate Fiction: Further reading
Constantly being updated!
Looking for the quest? >>> A Quest for the Future Books in the quest won't appear on this list.
Books from a wide variety of fiction genres that touch on climate themes in some way. Please bear in mind that while cli-fi can be hopeful, it also touches on a lot of difficult themes, so make sure to protect your mental health too.
Indigenous People’s of the World Lit
Literature featuring indigenous authors from the Americas and Pacific. Fiction from across all genres by First Nations of Canada and the US, Māori, Aboriginal Australian, Samoan, Hawaiian, Papua New Guinean and other Pacific Island indigenous peoples. Any and all recommendations are more than welcome! Thank you 💜
The PI in AAPI!
Disclaimer: I am not Pacific Islander, but we should all strive to read more Pasifika authors!
The grouping of Pasifika and Asian communities has a complex history. And because of this grouping, Pasifika authors are largely underrepresented.
Check out Pacific Islanders in Publishing (I cannot figure out how to hyperlink, sorry) for more recs!
I have not read all of the books on this list, so please let me know if any are not fit for this list!
Suggestions are always welcome!
