Dear Sherryl,

Today, Fix published the final collection of short stories from our writing
contest. I’m beyond thrilled to present to you the 12 winners of *Imagine
2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors*
<https://grist-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1fK8ct8hAMx_eBEIm60BqS6Fm2qqwtIHzET0mWZR5jDE-0&key=YAMMID-66049649&link=https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.grist.org%2Fe%2F399522%2F-imagine-2200-climate-fiction-%2F249dnpq%2F879964551%3Fh%3DTcipT0XXR3CNNLfFrEONWtei0iJKX-Zriy7wtTatYlg&data=04%7C01%7Ced.fields%40birminghamal.gov%7Cc3582a64f2aa42628b4d08d97788af8e%7C53fe4952fe904346a9f671bad788cb78%7C0%7C0%7C637672251222593198%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=c5v32YlGOa2QvTXnv3gYVN2IzEKwRxV5HEoqpexMypQ%3D&reserved=0>
.

When writers from different backgrounds envision the future, the tales they
tell can expand our ability to imagine a better planet. With your help in
amplifying the contest, we reached people all over the world with an
invitation to look beyond this moment in the climate crisis and share
dreams of the next 180 years of equitable climate progress. More than 1,100
people from 85 countries submitted stories that elevate diverse voices and
bring new perspectives to the increasingly vital genre of climate fiction.

Whether built on abundance or adaptation, reform or a new understanding of
survival, each story provides flickers of hope, even joy. As you travel
through the collection, you’ll navigate a choice between leaving Earth or
trying to rehabilitate it. You’ll experience the emotional clarity of being
the last of your species. You’ll explore a drowned world, a spirit world,
and a world built among the clouds. *Read all the stories in Imagine 2200

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR

<https://grist-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1fK8ct8hAMx_eBEIm60BqS6Fm2qqwtIHzET0mWZR5jDE-0&key=YAMMID-66049649&link=http://needlink>

Since 1970, NRDC has been guided by the fundamental belief that
environmental rights are human rights. Today, supported by more than 3
million members and online activists, we are leading the fight against
climate change. Our scientists, lawyers, and policy experts work in
partnership with artists, entertainers, and influencers to create a
compelling vision for the future: clean air, safe water, and justice for
all people. Because, together, science and storytelling will change the
world.
