The Climate Letters

The Climate Letters is a fiction project set in the near future. Every year holds a pair of letters written by a couple of (initially) young professionals, attempting to go about their relatively normal lives as the effects of climate change become gradually but inexorably ever more apparent. Their companion piece, The Hopeful Climate Letters, tracks a different future in the same way - one where humanity gets a handle on the climate crisis and builds a better world.
