Mötesplats Rydberg - Climate imaginaries: Stories of fossil-free futures and climate change disruption

Climate imaginaries: Stories of fossil-free futures and climate change disruption

With Alexandra Nikoleris,  Associate senior lecturer, Division of Environmental and Energy Systems Studies, 
Department of Technology and Society, LTH.

Abstract
A common proposition put forward in research on collective action on climate 
change is that this phenomenon needs to be made concrete and meaningful 
for people in order for them to take action. Most ways in which climate change 
and a transition towards a post-fossil society are represented; through models, 
graphs, numbers, industry roadmaps, are too abstract and miss out on the 
details which make it possible for people to imagine what a fossil-free society 
might look like. In this seminar I will present and discuss research on how such 
meaning can be created through 'experiential futuring', a combination of fiction, 
imagination and public deliberation. 

For examples see the Climaginaries.org website.
