2071

Dear Reader,

We are excited to present to you our third issue from 2021, “The Journey to 2071: An Earth Odyssey”.

In this issue, we aim to mentally enter the year 2071, with the assumption that we made it to that point, and tell stories from our journeys to getting there. The stories will look from a backwards point of view on how we managed to dodge environmental cataclysm and rebuild society and nature anew. A combination of cli-fi (climate fiction), utopian and dystopian creative visions, climate science, and intergenerational stories are required to make this issue, the future of 2071, come to life.

Our goal is to challenge readers to think about the climate crisis in a different way and start thinking about what they’re going to do in their individual lives and communities to strive for that possible future; we want people to envision the journey. We’re not looking for false hope or optimism, but rather, diverse stories that are grounded in the views of people.

Below is our Table of Contents where you can read all about the A\J Team’s process of creating this issue, interviews with amazing new environmental leaders, book and film reviews, as well as our on-theme content, separated in 3 sections: Before the Storm, During the Storm, and After the Storm.

We hope you enjoy this digital issue and we thank you for all of your continued interest and support. Please note that we have included the full PDF of the issue at the bottom of this page, which you are welcome to download and share.

Kindly,

The A\J Team
