Madeleine Bunting, Nicola Chester, Lucy Stone and Andy Fryers in conversation

Celebrate the ways in which storytelling can tackle the climate crisis with the official launch of the Climate Fiction Prize. The Prize aims shed light on the exciting growing number of bold, exciting, nuanced and timely climate storytelling that is emerging in fiction publishing. In the prize’s inaugural year, judges Nicola Chester (author of On Gallows Down), Madeleine Bunting,(writer and the Chair of Judges), Lucy Stone (founder of Climate Spring) and Andy Fryers (Hay Festival Global Sustainability Director) will explore the ways in which fiction enables society to comprehend the impacts of climate change and manifest responses to combat apathy and doomism. The Prize is supported by Climate Spring, an organisation using the power of storytelling to change the narrative on the climate crisis.
