Young people today know that climate change is altering the world before their eyes. What will the future world look like—and will we survive? In her YA science-fiction graphic novel Salvage, Renée Nault depicts a class-stratified future megacity traversed by carefree technocratic children even as the outskirts of the city scrape by on salvaging and reselling the products of prior industry from buried city layers beneath the water. In How To Survive The End Of The World, Katy Doughty charts the different crises that might come to a head within our lifetime, and what has tipped the scales during previous climatic and other disasters for the human race. But all hope is not lost: Danica Novgorodoff discusses her and journalist Meera Subramanian’s exploration of youth climate activism and its impacts in their nonfiction comic A Better World Is Possible: Youth Confront the Climate Crisis. Moderated by Kait Walser of the NYC Climate Writers Collective & the Climate Imaginarium.
