Arizona State University is announcing its third contest in 2020 which is considered unprecedented opportunity to reimagine how humans will live on this planet in the future. The beating drum of the climate crisis is a constant reminder that our planet is a closed, limited system and that we’re currently living far beyond its boundaries. This competition is looking for short stories that help in imagining how humans can live within Earth’s planetary boundaries at the individual level and more importantly at the level of organizations, communities, and societies, and at the level of a global human civilization.

The Competition Target:

This competition is looking for short stories that help in imagining how humans can live within Earth’s planetary boundaries at the individual level and more importantly at the level of organizations, communities, and societies, and at the level of a global human civilization. These stories should answer the following questions:-

What would our world look like if we actually respected and lived within planetary boundaries?
How would we organize our homes, communities, cities, and nations?
How would we live with and relate to each other at the global level?
How might politics, culture, relationships, and identities—all of the messiness of human lives—change in a world where we’re grappling seriously with the climate crisis, and perhaps even trying to restore some of the damage we’ve already done to the planet and its ecosystems?
What kinds of obstacles, conflicts, and transformations will arise during these humongous shifts?
How can we ensure that a sustainable or even climate-positive future is also a just and equitable one?
