The climate crisis is an urgent, yet utterly solvable issue. I feel strongly that we should not be telling a generation of children that their future is unavoidably broken. The climate debate needs to move beyond fear at rising sea levels and pollution towards a more solutions-based view on climate change. I want to read inspiring, optimistic stories that show a future where we’ve done things right. I’m not interested in dark dystopias about a climate-ravaged planet. Those books reach the widest audience, having a better chance of spreading awareness of the climate crisis.Įventually, I realised that I needed to focus on writing about characters who are actively working to slow climate change, rather than writing a story showing the terrors to come. That tone felt impossible to capture in a book about climate change, a topic which is discomforting at best and soul-destroying/terrifying at worst.Īnd while it’s a huge issue that should be treated seriously, the best stories are those which are enjoyable to experience. My writing is primarily character and story focussed. It’s such a huge, complex topic that I didn’t know how to tackle it in a way which felt uplifting. From the beginning of my writing career, I’ve wanted to write about climate change – but I could never find a ‘way in’.
