Abstract

Climate Fiction is an emerging rapid growing genre of literature exploring the far reaching consequences of one of the global concerns i.e. climate change. It has developed in the context of the long-term change in weather patterns which affect the regional, national and global life. Climate change is a great concern world-wide owing to its magnitude and intensity. Climate and ecology has been a subject matter of many works since ancient times in the forms of myths and legends. However, the concept of climate change began to appear in writings after the industrial revolution from 18th Century. Therefore, climate change began to be seen as Anthropocene (human influence on the planet) that affects the life all across the globe. Though, climate change has been a serious matter of discussion in public domain, it has much smaller presence in the contemporary literary fiction. It is the need of the hour to promote the writing and reading of climate fiction literature in order to create awareness in basic and higher education. Hence to make people sensitive and to take pragmatic measures for curtailing the gravity of this global issue.
