Description

The title "Meteotopia" refers not only to the Climate Emergency we all live in, but also to the Climate Injustice that starts as an environmental problem to include both a political and a moral question. The Anthropocene (and its lately little brother Capitalocene) affect every planetary ecosystem as well as every living being and thus Climate Justice is the ethical obligation to create a more just and equitable world starting from the protection of human rights, and in particular for those populations that suffer the most from the consequences of climate change, even though they are not directly responsible for it: all the marginalized cultures, the future generations, the living animals and plants, all those left out of political discussions, G20 events, and financial speculations. That's why CoFUTURES in collaboration with Future Fiction, have selected some Science Fiction stories from the Global South to address some urgent themes and relevant issues, such as the abandonment of fossil fuels in favor of more efficient energy systems based on renewable resources; the creation of sustainable economies and cities in the long term, the relationship between individual choices and community politics in relation to new technologies and lifestyles; new ethics and morals to cope with the coming de-carbonization Era and downshifting to more inclusive paradigms; the reduction of waste, especially in the North of the world, but also by the elites of the South; repairing and reusing as a correct way to avoid technological, commercial and fashion obsolescence; conservation of environmental resources based on the rights of indigenous people and the democratic right of populations to sovereignty over their own resources: energy, forests, land, and water; new kind of governments, redistribution of rights and wealth. Published by Future Fiction, the production of this anthology has been financed by the European Research Council (grant agreement no. 852190) for CoFutures.
